Agreed. I recently had to merge a feature branch back to the trunk,
and then back down to product branches in our Subversion repository.
It was a nightmare.

Graham, if you are working on this project yourself, I would advise
you to investigate git or Mercurial for the reasons Jon specifies. All
my new personal projects use git. Even my Subversion FUSE filesystem
driver.
