Thanks, John.

I've already integrated our change management system to the SVN
repository via the pre- and post-commit hooks, so we already have
the 'ticket' and the associated changesets. I was after the 'merging later'
portion of your solution.

I'm sorry, but maybe I misworded my question. I am recording each
revision that has been committed against the devel branch for version X against
the appropriate 'ticket' (as above). However, in addition to displaying these
revisions (and the changesets for each), we also want to display a single list of
the overall changes that have been made, ie the net result of the changeset set.

I don't actually want to be merging and then committing back to the repository.

All the revisions that I care about will be made on the same branch, so I'm not sure
if that makes it easier or not.

Cheers,
