However, if you use svnmerge.py script, it will do some work for you. I
believe what it does is:
- it will get the log messages from the branch (for the revisions that are
merged to trunk)
- and when it merges those revisions to trunk, it will use the consolidated
log messages as one large log message for the revision in trunk where the
merge was committed.

In addition, version 1.5 of svn will have most of the svnmerge.py features
incorporated into the software.
