For what it is worth, as soon as the connection issues are worked out
with GNA, I do plan to backport, using the same script that Giel is
using.
http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html#svnmerge_py
http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html#svnmerge_sh

(Which is also built in to TortoiseSVN now, but without a reliable
connection, I get the old 'Connection closed unexpectedly' errors, so
it won't allow the merge to continue.)

I hate to spam the list with the same question again, but is there any
*good* reason why we still support 2.1, and not just go directly to a
2.2  release instead?

Has anyone notice anything that is a show stopper for 2.2?
