Is remembering the 'branchy development' really a requirement here?  SVN
certainly supports feature and bugfix branches, and we've certainly used
it that way.  It does have a problem that you cannot really merge
multiple times, so you have to worry about multiple merges from a branch
back to trunk.

[Phil] Is this still true with SVN 1.5 and 1.6.  I know that somewhere in there, 
they improved merging and how merges were recorded, so these problems might have 
gone away.
