If switching technology altogether is an option (yeah, right, but
let's
be crazily optimistic), consider git, too. Its merge capabilities are
very good. E.g., check out the man pages for these tools: git-
rebase and
git-rerere. And there are tons of (some say too many) examples in
git's
Documentation directory. Be sure to look at the very latest (e.g.
1.4.4.4
or better), since the documentation has been improving steadily.

In case anyone is interested for qpid, the repo-conversion
tools work pretty well. Between git's git-svnimport and tailor
(http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/Tailor, a tool to convert nearly any
VCS to
any other), it should be easy to perform the initial svn->git
conversion.
But I'm getting way ahead of myself. With inertia and all that, I
suspect
no one will be pushing to convert the repo to git in the short term.
Probably not at all.
Such a conversion to git isn't really practical, given that qpid sits
within a much larger svn repository consisting of many projects.
