Hey-

Wondering if others think a move to subversion 1.5 would be good.

A few features would be nice for OL development.  Particularly merge 
tracking.  From the release notes:

"""
Merging changes from (say) trunk to a branch no longer requires that you 
specify the revision range. Instead, each time you want to sync up with 
trunk, you can just do:

    $ cd BRANCH_WORKING_COPY
    $ svn merge URL_TO_TRUNK

Subversion will figure out what changes from URL_TO_TRUNK have not yet 
been merged and pull in just those changes. When it's time to merge the 
branch back to trunk, do this:

    $ cd TRUNK_WORKING_COPY
    $ svn merge --reintegrate URL_TO_BRANCH
"""

Pretty nice for sandbox users.  Not sure if there are constraints on 
doing this on the MC side.

PS - One (perhaps very minor) change that may affect some is that the 
repository basename is displayed in XML and HTML index views.  This 
breaks anything that previously relied on titles that were only revision 
numbers (zc.buildout recipes break).
