So much.  After going a bit more mainstream, I heard people being
excited about being able to grep by binary expressions.  They I tried it
and wondered: "how come it doesn't show me the description?".

So, uh, well, I found a solution.  It was bothering me so much!

Correct.  I'd proceed something like this:

 1) Copy [tagcoll/debtags]' trunk into branches/bigmerge
 2) Checkout bigmerge
 3) Copy in stuff from [libtagcoll1/libdebtags1]
 4) Adjust the build systems

Note that in this case it's very helpful that svn allows you to copy
files between different checkout paths: if for example you have
libtagcoll1/trunk checked out in /libtagcoll1 and
tagcoll/branches/bigmerge checked out in /tagcoll, you can do:

  svn cp /libtagcoll1/tagcoll /tagcoll/



Ciao,

Enrico
