Getting the svnmerge-intergrated property right when merging
trunk->py3k->release30 is a little tricky. The most concise set of
instructions I have found which gets it right is to do the following in
the 3.0 maintenance branch after committing to the py3k branch:

Had this been caught before 3.0 release it might be a different solution
Let's just add a new function that works "correctly"
Martin, it seems to me that a path. method shouldn't require me to pass path
components but inste
