We're using 1.5 (on some machines) but staying with svnmerge for merge
tracking. The main reason is that our merge model is very simple and well
handled by svnmerge: all merges are from the (one) trunk to a (one of
several) branch.

I think there are good reasons to have this simple kind of merge model that
go beyond merge tracking, but that's a different discussion :-)

As far as  I can tell the svn 1.5 properties and the svnmerge properties
pass like ships in the night. So I ignore the svn 1.5 merge stuff. Actually
I find it kind of annoying that anytime you "svn copy" something with 1.5,
it automatically tacks on the "svn:mergeinfo" property and I find myself
deleting these.
