I think one very important requirement of Python's VCS is advanced
merging support. The trunk and py3k are very special branches because
a commit in one should not necessarily find its way into the other. To
that end, I think it's critical to have svnmerge.py-like blocking
(preferably with unblocking, too) and fine cherry-picking of
revisions.
