That's really not the problem. The problem is that, once you do more
changes to devel and try to merge them, you get conflicts because
subversion forgot that you already merged the old ones. This is the
single biggest problem subversion has in my opinion (not only for
grimoire work).
The last time I tried to use several systems to do grimoire work, the
only one that did everything was svk, but that had massive stability
problems back then, which probably changed by now, I know at least
ruskie uses it for his own grimoires.
