How can I run a "binary search based upon date" as described by Josh below
to test Dale's RepoMerge.py script (as seen here:
http://www.thehirts.net/blog/?page_id=24 ) to make sure things are working?
Sorry if I'm ignorant; I admin Subversion, but I don't use it in a detailed
fashion that much up until now--my developers do more of that.
