Cool, I had thought that merge tracking simply allowed the multiple
merges from one branch to another w/o needing to use something like
tags, like in cvs, to mark the last merge point, because the tool
remembers for you. But if merge tracking also means being able to use
annotate or blame to locate the real person who changed a given line,
even across branches, that is great!
