Ok, good info.

Will per-file history analysis commands/scenarios (not sure what all they
are--I'm viewing this from a "higher" level and as of yet are not familiar
with all Subversion details) still work?

Also, will binary-date searches beyond July 1 (in the above example) still
work for the new "super" respository?

Additionally: would anyone have any script examples for how to interleave
the dates and revs of the resulting, "super" repository?
