http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/issues.html amongst other things, says " if you're pretty sure about the bug, go ahead and post directly to our development list". OK, so here's a bug with merge tracking:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4635 Synopsis: Series of cherry-picks between branches breaks subversions merge tracking A reproducible bug, I should say - there's bash scripts within the issue. made on a mac and tested with Svn 1.9.4. I even ported the same scripts to Perforce, Git and Mercurial (same sequence of merge events) and it works fine. The code for those is on branches in that same Git repo. - Paul
