Re: Promote (Not Merge) Branch to Trunk

I assume this is simply because of a limitation in the working copy
capabilities to express two changes to the same structure - EG the old trunk
and new trunk aren't the same 'file' but occupy the same book-keeping in the
working copy.

Has anyone filed an issue for the (hopefully) eventual redesign of the
working-copy model? This would be a nice feature as it seems the same kind
of situation is present when dropping new vendor code into a project from
vendor branches.
