Hi,

One thing confuses me in this thread: Do the problems come from merging across different versions (i.e. different syntax and module names), or are they regular problems that come up because people don’t want to use a merge tool? I for one immensely like Mercurial’s merge and utterly dislike Subversion’s (certainly because I’ve learned a good merge tool and don’t have a good editor to handle files with conflict markers).

IIUC this is not about merges, this is about transplants (or cherry-picking). It would be unannoying to lose svnmerge's relative convenience in that matter.

Regards

Antoine.
