This subject interests me greatly - but I feel like I'm coming into the
middle, so apologies in advance for any stupidity I show... :-)

Why can't Subversion track the "re-integration" and only calculate
merges back to the re-integration point?

I don't see why Subversion branches are different from any other system.
Why would this problem by unique to Subversion and why can it not be
easily solved?
