Yes, that's what I (quite unclearly) meant: since revision numbers are 
per- repository in svn, I don't understand the point of tracking trunk 
revisions: I would think that tracking the last merged version for each 
branch to be enough (for the kind of merge svn does, at least). If trunk 
version are tracked, then I would expect two branches using svnmerge to 
clash each other,
