Smarter Merging?

I know it's on the SVN "todo" list, and I'm sure it's harder than
it looks and people much more knowledgeable than I have probably
thought more deeply about it, but...

...It *seems* like it should be fairly easy to implement
something that uses properties to keep track of which revisions'
changes have been included in any revision of a file. From there
doing a smart merge is "just" a matter of repeatedly merging the
disjoint difference ranges between these two lists. The whole
scheme could be built into a proof-of-concept wrapper over svn to
begin with.

Any further insight into this problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
