Yes it does of course, and I don't want to re-open the long thread on tags
vs labels. The point I failed to make was that merge tracking is on the SVN
roadmap; user-defined labels are not. _If_ the implementation of merge
tracking uses something like a label (and I don't know if this will be the
case), then the user labels that some people have been requesting might drop
out for (almost) free.
