The subversion web page says that it can't handle repeated merges, and still won't be able to until after 1.0. If 2.0 and 2.1 aren't going to diverge in an awkward fashion while parallel development continues, then this feature is a MUST. The Apache project's dislike of branching seems slightly odd to me given that it seems to work quite effectively over long periods of time in the BSD projects.
