A bit of confusion on my part, failing to recognise the difference between catch-up merge and a cherry-pick merge. Cyclic catch-up merges can lead to conflicts due to merge tracking limitations, and the transitive mergeinfo doesn't really help. But I can see that for cherry-pick merges the transitive mergeinfo will probably be useful in more cases. -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
