The actual "functionality" is fairly simple. What is less
obvious is options, UI and interaction (similar to the
interactive conflict resolution that was added only years
after the original merge interface).
Therefore, I would take an approach similar to what was
done with the 'blame' feature: Have one working client
implementation as a prototype and move the core functionality
to the SVN core libs afterwards. The TSVN adaptions for
the second step are certainly small.
