[...] I just created a branch for this in r1922042 <https://svn.apache.org/r1922042>: branches/apply-processor <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/apply-processor>. I am going to move some code from merge.c to merge_processor.c, and then resolve the issues and fix the tests. -- Timofei Zhakov
