The metadata are discriminated by source merge URL. That is, the py3k metadata
are of the form "/python/trunk:<list of revisions>" while the release30-maint
metadata are of the form "/python/branches/py3k:<list of revisions>". (*)
I guess that's what allows svn to not shoot itself in the foot when merging.

I did "svn resolved ." again yesterday and it doesn't seem to have borked
anything.

(*) (try "svn propget svnmerge-integrated" or "svn propget svnmerge-blocked")

Antoine.
