I have one technical reason for preferring to do the merge
the other way, from /trunk into /silver. That is because we
currently have axiom--silver--1 in sync with /silver and a
robot in place (using Tailor) so that any changes made to
axiom--silver--1 will be automatically reflected in /silver
and the two will remain in sync.
If we apply changes to /trunk that effectively leaves Tim out
of the loop, plus it means that we lose syncronization with
axiom--silver--1 which is to be Tim's primary source repository
for Silver. Switching the Robot over to update /trunk might be
a bit tricky because it is necessary to ensure that the robot
has accurate knowledge of the state of each repository.
There is however one drawback of what I propose. Apparently
when Tim created axiom--silver--1 he did not retain any of
the prior history of the axiom--main--1 branch. SVN /silver
shares the lack of memory, while /trunk which was derived
from the original CVS at SourceForge, has a much longer trail
of changes. Updating /silver via axiom--silver--1 with patches
from /trunk will not recreate very much of the history. But
maybe this sort of revision history is not so important for
the Axiom project?

Thank you very much for your work on this! :-)
For now, I propose that we wait and see what Tim manages to
do do with his attempt to perform the merge into axiom--silver-1.
