Andy;

Thank you for your answer.
Does it means that in current version the only way to perform controlled
merge is using (with svnmerge.py) and not GUI?

Thanks again,
Aviva

Subversion prior to version 1.5 does not track this sort of
information. Subversion 1.5 introduces a merge-tracking feature which
will provide this information. In the meantime, one can use
svnmerge.py to perform merges, which will make note of how the merge
was performed. Information from both svnmerge.py and the
merge-tracking in 1.5 is available from the repository log, accessed
with svn log.
