After having read
http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2008/07/subversion-merg.html I'm
wondering if I can actually use my development branches with svn 1.5
merging with one change. Each time I merge my development branch back to
trunk I delete and recreate it on the server side as suggested in the
article "The bottom line is that if you recreate your branches you will
not run into this.  svn delete followed by svn copy runs fast, and does
not take up any repository disk space.  You do not even have to do
anything special to your working copy.  So just do it!"

Does anyone see problems with this?
