Ben, thanks for adding this comment to to your email
reply. Although I read Ch4, including the paragraph
under "Tracking Merges Manually" it did not sink in
that Subversion can not tell *where* merges came from.
That is certainly a big point I missed. D'oh.

[Thrown out to the group at large]
So, do all svn users follow the book convention of
using a comment to indicate that a "merge occurred
with these source/destination revisions" ? Are there
any other techniques for tracking this that other
developers/Conf Mgrs use? 

Thanks!
