when svn first came out (and up until a few years ago) branching was definitely not easy!

Subversion 1.5 added support for tracking merges: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html#me...

Before this, merging branches was a huge pain, because you had to manually keep track of the commits that needed to be merged.
