I agree, we have a small team and all use the tool, so it works for us. php-src seems to have a larger number of committers and uses patches from a still-larger set of contributors, so using a tool like svnmerge would require some discipline and polite discussions about what is expected. As mentioned, here is some documentation we wrote internally about using svnmerge with the openkomodo sources: http://anisotropic.net/svnmerge.html ...it should give you an idea of the workflow we use. YMMV of course. Jeff
