[PATCH] have svnmerge use repo-local paths instead of URL's
Currently, svnmerge uses repository URL's in its branch metadata. That
scheme won't work when you have multiple repository access methods, or
find yourself moving your repository.
This patch has svnmerge use repository-local paths instead of URL's.
Graceful upgrades from the old scheme are supported, assuming that the
URL is still valid.

Thanks, I added a comment to #960 but did not add any dependency,
since that part is a little beyond my knowledge.

You may just want to add this to issue #960, which specifically
discusses the availability of the repos_root in the WC (but not how to
expose it). I suppose then 960 should be made dependent on 890 for
completeness.

Sounds good. OK to file a feature request for this?

If I can figure out how to do it for the keywords patch, the information
will be available in the WC (probably in the entries file) and it can be
exposed via 'svn info' too.

Looks great, I'll commit it.
A couple of comments:
Perhaps there should be a feature request that 'svn info' print the
repository root (i.e., URL minus relative path). Then your get_repo_root()
could be much simpler and not require N queries over the network.
I'm still holding out faint hope that someday SVN will support inter-repo
merges (apparently I'm the only one though; when I tried to file a feature
request I was shot down). When/if that ever happens, we can have support
for either relative or absolute head URLs.
Thanks,
-Archie
