Then we can just all use svnmerge and be happy.
This is almost possible. The problem is that you need to know what other revisions were applied to the branch already, which is hard to calculate. :) Thus, it's better to have people svnmerge init the branches for their own branches if they want, since it lets you record what revisions were already merged at init time through one of it's options. Or you can solve the problem of trying to figure out which revisions we already applied, and i'll happily throw the code in cvs2svn.
