Does this mean that svn merge has been error prone and very slow
(compared to svnmerge.py), anf from now is just error prone?

Why would http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py#FAQ mention how
to migrate from svnmerge.py if the alternative was worse?

I would prefer to use just svn, without addons for functionality that
is included. But I cannot find anyone saying that svn merge is as good
as svnmerge.py.

Is there any information about when svn merge is supposed to be
better/as good as svnmerge.py?
