Subversion not tracking merges is a big missing feature.

I use properties to keep track of what was merged. I have a property
called "jcals:merged" that I place on the files and directories
involved with the merge. By looking at this property, I can see what
was most recently merged. Since properties are versioned, looking at
an older revision of the tree will show me what was merged there. I
find it a bit quicker looking for this one property instead of combing
the log for merges.
