title: How can I preserve Subversion commit messages across merges?
body: <p>Is there any Subversion that can create a commit message containing a list of all the commit messages used in a merge?</p>
  
  <p>Our problem is that we tend to lose all the good history information for changes performed on branches once they are merged.  Usually instead of a detailed list of fixes performed on the branch we're left with a message saying "merged branch-1.1.2 899-921", the developers then have to determine which branch and change to look at for more detailed info, a tedious task.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to avoid this? What are your strategies for preserving commit info and history between merges.</p>
