+ <para>In release 1.8, Subversion's client now tracks
+ renamed files and directories more thoroughly, and
+ its <command>svn merge</command> command has grown
+ intelligent enough to make the
+ <option>--reintegrate</option> option unnecessary.
+ Certain new versioned property values can be inherited
+ from parent directories. That feature now allows a
+ repository to dictate default values for automatic
+ property settings and ignorable file patterns, bringing
+ consistency across the user base of that repository in a
+ way which previously had to be managed socially. As
+ always, Subversion 1.8 includes many additional
+ features, defect fixes, and improvements in behavior and
+ performance.</para>
