I forgot to mention that I ran svn log in trunk only. In branches the
numbers are higher precisely because of the use of automatic logs.
This is the list for the complete repository.

Total 49 out of 139604. On the other hand there are 187 instances of
"via svnmerge from".

So we can conclude that many people working in branches do not read
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SvnBranch, which is not that surprising. I
think now that matching "via svnmerge from" would be more productive,
so please consider approving my second patch (attached again here).

Cheers,

Manuel.
