Well, git was written with merges as the first priority, as the kernel
is being cloned and developed as several places
simultaneously. mercurial has also better merge support.

I just stumbled over the following (which is why I'm replying to this
old mail):

http://subversion.tigris.org/merge-tracking/
http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py

E.g. svn will one day have the support you need, but you need it
today. :(

(and I wouldn't recommend using the semi-official svnmerge.py, because
the official implemenation may look different and we'd be stuck with
broken upgrade paths - better to switch to git/mercurial if the need
becomes larger - mercurial works under trac, too, and git is about to)
