Frankly, there are very few people who routinely (like Benjamin) or even only sometimes (like me) merge larger amounts of stuff between our four branches. While that's no surprise, given how clumsy svnmerge makes it, others shouldn't just dismiss the merging problem with "we have svnmerge".
That's why I keep arguing that the committers making the original commits should also merge their changes, individually, into the respective branches. That way
- commits become separate, and reverting them becomes possible
- the load is shared across all committers
