Then, as I said multiple times before, you are no better or worse off than you are now, and a prerequisite of using Subversion is understanding the business model. When that happens, you have to do the merge and hope it isn't brutal. Life goes on.

On a side note, if it's been a while since your last update, you'd do well to update and see if the situation changed anyway. In this scenario, you'd have avoided the problem.

Let's just drop the façade. You all are against doing this for philosophical or personal reasons, not because of any (voiced) technical concerns. I can live with that, it's your choice, and you're doing the work. I just don't like seeing all sorts of unsubstantiated assertions thrown around. In fact, it's the only reason I continue to follow-up.
