This isn't an option for us. We have 5 concurrent releases at a time,
and renaming is a normal thing that needs to happen in any one of
them. While this may be insanity, the business requires it.

Making changes to svnmerge.py seems like the easiest and most
effective option to me. I'm hoping someone who has thought about this
more carefully can point out potential pitfalls or why this is more
complicated than I am thinking it is.
