I'm thinking instead of using regex's over the XML, which granted is

xmltramp has been around for a while, so it probably has support for
older versions of Python.
The only issue is that of external dependencies. Do we want to
require a
non-standard library to run svnmerge.py? Or are you proposing to
still keep
the regexp code as a fallback? BTW, I'm -1 on replacing the current
regexp
code with SAX/DOM-based parser, which would take 200 lines or
something.
I'm ok with using ElementTree, given that it's now the standard XML
library.
And with this module, wouldn't the code to find the revisions then
just be several lines, not 200?
Does ElementTree depend upon any other non-standard modules?
