It will be very odd. I believe some libjava merges updated more than 500
files. If we have to break such checkins into several smaller ones just
because svnmerge can't handle it properly, maybe we should ban
svnmerge instead.
FWIW, I don't use svnmerge and I never have any problems to
merge between branches with "svn merge".
