I propose we use http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py to
track merges for us. It will make merging much less error prone. I'm
going to try it out on the 0-9 branch to backmerge and merge python
and spec prior to merging them to trunk. Its endorsed by the svn team
and included in the svn distribution. It can be used in conjunction
with manual merges but life will be simpler if we always use it for
all merges.

I agree. We use this script _a lot_ at my day job and it makes merging
much easier.

Kevin, can you give me some tips about selectively merging directories?
I did svnmerge.py init in the root of the 0.9 branch, and I can
svnmerge.py avail to seem the available merges but I don't see a way to
restrict it to certain subdirectories. I could
a) Merge the whole branch in my working copy and revert all the stuff I
dont' want to merge or.
b) Go thru the (long!) list of diffs to identify the ones that affect
the directories I'm interested in
Is there an easier way?
Cheers,
Alan.
