The "SymmetricMerge" page has been changed by JulianFoad:
http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/SymmetricMerge?action=diff&rev1=79&rev2=80

Comment:
Add terminology entry "natural history".

  == Terminology ==
   complete merge:: A merge that merges all the changes from the source branch 
that have not yet been merged into the target. A ''sync'' merge and a 
''reintegrate'' merge and a ''symmetric'' merge are all ''complete'' merges.
   symmetric merge:: A ''complete merge'' that works in either direction 
between two branches, no matter which branch is regarded as the parent and 
which as the child, and no matter which direction any previous merges between 
those branches were performed.  A ''complete merge'' is the normal kind of 
merge in systems such as ClearCase; this paper is about developing such a merge 
in Subversion.
+  natural history:: The sequence of path-revision coordinates where a node 
existed, if you trace it back through history along its normal changes and any 
copy-from links. Nothing to do with merge arrows.
  
  == Drawing The Graphs ==
  The graphs in this page are constructed with the program 
[[http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/tools/dev/merge-graph.py|merge-graph.py]]
 from configuration files such as [[attachment:merge-reint-1.txt]] which may be 
found alongside the corresponding '''.png''' files as attachments to the Wiki 
page.
