[jboss-dev] subversion 1.5 diffs

So I'm reading through the current svn manual merging section, and it says:

"In the examples that follow, we're assuming that both your Subversion 
client and server are
running Subversion 1.5 (or later). If either client or server is older 
than version 1.5, things
are more complicated: the system won't track changes automatically, and 
you'll have to
use painful manual methods to achieve similar results. That is, you'll 
always need to use
the detailed merge syntax to specify specific ranges of revisions to 
replicate (see the sec-
tion called “Merge Syntax: Full Disclosure” later in this chapter), and 
take special care to
keep track of what's already been merged and what hasn't. For this 
reason, we strongly re-
commend that you make sure your client and server are at least at 
version 1.5. "

Of course we are running 1.4.2. It looks like the big change was 
tracking merge information via an svn:mergeinfo property?
