Between a working clunky solution and a clunky non working solution, the 
choice is not difficult :) I just wanted to check whether I did 
something wrong or if svnmerge was fragile (I was a bit surprised, 
because I could swear I managed to make it work at some point in another 
branch....)

Don't worry, I have never used subversion for my own projects, I've 
never understood the complexity of the thing :)
