It was SVN 1.5 where the change occurred, and it's covered here: http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#merge-tracking If I understand right, it's marking changes with a distinct ID (probably a GUID) instead of a change number, allowing finer control of merging. I've never used 1.5 and wonder if the upgrade is worth it - I think it requires a change in data structure. j
