+1 for subversion 1.5 earlier w/o merge tracking
The two features that would get used by me immediately are the sparse
directory support and DAV mirroring. These will make upgrading worth
it.
I am also anxiously waiting for merge tracking, but would really
appreciate using these other new features in the mean time.
Thanks,
Roy
