Looking for feedback on 1.5RC4 especially merge tracking

I am looking for users/staff who have been using the 1.5 series of
svn.  If anyone has info on how long they've been using it, any high
level issues discovered, etc. it would be greatly appreciated.  I'm
especially interested in use of the new merge tracking feature.

A team I'm on is discussing switching from 1.4 to 1.5, as it would
ease our CM process a lot.

Thanks,
Aaron R>

There are a couple of links:
	
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=77156

One of which is:
	
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#merge-tracking

"The merge tracking support in Subversion 1.5 is "foundational": the
most important parts are implemented, but there are still some parts of
our original spec that remain to be done (in particular, proper support
for reflective merges, better change-availability reporting, and better
tracking of renamed files). As there were many major features waiting to
ship in 1.5, we didn't want to delay their release by rigid adherence to
one feature's specifications. Look for further merge tracking
improvements in Subversion 1.6 and afterwards."

Karl -

Thanks for replying.  Yes, I do understand that RC4 is a release
candidate.  My assumption is that others have been testing against the
1.5Alpha and Beta releases that came out a few months ago.

The team I'm on is relatively new to Subversion, having come from
TeleLogic's Synergy system.  The merge capability has been our largest
hurdle, which 1.5 will address for us.

Feedback of a general nature, such as: "No major issues with testing
on a team of 15 for the past two weeks" is helpful.

Thanks,
Aaron R>

1.5 is not released yet -- you know that, right?  It's in "RC" stage
(Release Candidate).  We welcome testing, but we want people to know
that testing a release candidate is what they're doing.  See

Best,
