Ok. That seems doable for now. It took you less time than me. :-)

I use svnmerge.py avail.

An other version of the output of svnmerge.py avail -log can be seen on:
http://www.freepascal.org/~vincents/avail.log

I have written (or am writing) an application to identify which
revisions change the same files, so I can group them together in one
merge.

Currently there are about 840 revisions to be merged.
