Well, well! Tracking merges is planed for version 2.0. We need to give
time to Subversion. It used to be a CVS "like" project for compatibility

things as it should have been done now... So Subversion 2.0 will
probably break compatibility with current version for good!

Let's not dismiss such a nice tool so easily ;)

You're kidding, right? If it takes them 4 versions (or more) and a
major compatibility-breaking rewrite to get things "as [they] should
have been done", then I don't see how Subversion is "a nice tool".
