For some reason, the svnmerge.py tool I have, which I d/l'd just
yesterday,
does NOT have the -S option. What gives?

usage: svnmerge init [OPTION...] [HEAD]
Initialize merge tracking from HEAD on the current working directory.
If HEAD is specified, all the revisions in HEAD are marked as already
merged;
if this is not correct, you can use --revision to specify the exact list
of
already-merged revisions.
If HEAD is omitted, then it is computed from the "svn cp" history of the
current working directory (searching back for the branch point); in this
case,
svnmerge assumes that no revision has been integrated yet since the
branch
point (unless you teach it with --revision).
Command options:
-f [--commit-file] FILE : set the name of the file where the suggested
log
message is written to (default:
svnmerge-commit-message.txt)
-r [--revision] REVLIST : specify a revision list, consisting of
revision
numbers and ranges separated by commas,
e.g.,
"534,537-539,540"
Global options:
-F [--force] : force operation even if the working copy is not
clean,
or there are pending updates
-n [--dry-run] : don't actually change anything, just pretend;
implies
--show-changes
-s [--show-changes] : show subversion commands that make changes
-v [--verbose] : verbose mode: output more information about
progress
-h [--help] : show help for this command and exit
-V [--version] : show version info and exit
