No.
The way is simply
1) set an URL
        fsvs urls file://// (or whatever)
2) get the files
        fsvs up

You're right, the USAGE file is not updated.

In the sources and the doxygen documentation that was changed for 1.1.14 IIRC; 
there's a "-R" switch for revert.

No.
To do a branch you can simply do "svn cp" as usual, switch the URL with "fsvs 
urls load", and work on the other url. (Maybe a "fsvs sync-repos" is needed 
too, I didn't try that yet).


Merging would be done via "svn" too -- although for system installation (that 
means /bin, /sbin etc.) I wouldn't trust an merging algorithm :-)

Whether that would make sense for binary files (/etc), is to be discussed ... 
it would be possible to call an external merge program on update.
(For diff FSVS does already a similar thing - gets the needed revisions, and 
calls some external program.)


What you can do is to "overlay" several URLs, so that the highest entry is 
used; see test/021_multi_url_update, or ask me if it's not really clear.
