Linus calls subversion the most worthless project ever because you
can't do CVS right and that's SVN's goal.  I want to hear LInus' take
now that SVN is copying ideas from git.


Having read the release notes you linked:

"but there are still parts of our original spec that remain to be
done, and merging is sometimes too slow."

Though this svn:mergeinfo support should make merges less
painful...when finally implemented.  Though, using a property for
merge info seems like a cheap hack to me.  In git the merge commit has
two parent commits which intrinsically and permanently links the
merge.  A number of the outstanding issues seem entirely expected for
a tacked-on solution.  I'm being smug.  :)
