Thanks Andy, one thing I've had some concerns about are basically
being able to track which files are modified in other branches
so that when merging back into a base we can coordinate.

In CVS one can monitor other branches relatively easily, but
not in SVN?

I guess we can write a custom log accumulator that uses
svnlook upon commit to build a {uuid}->log mapping...

I think we can do this, do you know of anything out there
that does this otherwise though?
