No. Subversion doesn't do merge tracking. What you're asking for would require that. While git-svn is good, it cannot give subversion abilities it doesn't have. It's an easy trap to fall into because git makes it so easy that you can forget that not everyone else can do it. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET andyparkins@gmail.com
