I've not installed Subversion 1.5.x at the office yet but this will be something I will look at now that it's had a couple of Maintenance releases so I see no reason why not to upgrade our current 1.4.6 install. Would be nice to have some help with merge tracking. It's not quite fully implemented yes as everyone wants, but hey these things take time, and any help is good help I say especially with Merging :)

 I have though installed 1.5.1 on my home development environment and it works a treat even following my install instructions over on http://inner-rhythm.co.uk/TV
