+1 ... for me it's never been a question of the tools -- i've never 
trusted the merge props to help keep anything straight.  I'm first and 
foremost concerned about features/fixes making it into 4x that then vanish 
when 5x comes out.

Knowing that "logical commits" are only flow in one direction (even if the 
physical bits being changed are different) is really helpful for keeping 
sane ... particulaly when you start seeing test failures in 4x but not 
trunk, or vice versa:  The number of possible causes doubles when there's 
a chance someone made a logical commit to 4x that never made it to trunk 
(was a bug committed to X but not Y? was a fix committed to Y but not X?)
