Yes, I am also a proponent of this strategy. This will require fixing the
issue #3037 problems turned up by glasser, which deletes (and now, copies)
don't have their mergeinfo index properly updated.

When we get the whole-branch-merge branch, and/or Mike's work, into a
state that handles the "safely merge back into trunk, handling mergeinfo"
use case, the priority of issue #2897 drops to the point where it is no
longer a 1.5 blocker. That said, it doesn't mean that we can't include
the fix for issue #2897 in 1.5 if it's completed in time.
