A English syntax error in section title

[C. Michael Pilato]

Well, that section is not actually about blocking of merge tracking, but
rather about blocking commits made by clients that don't support merge
tracking.

The original sentiment is probably one best expressed using hyphens (as in,
"Blocking Merge-Tracking-Unaware Clients"), but long strings of hyphens are
generally frowned upon.    I notice that the 1.7 version of the book has
this title as simply "Blocking Merge-Unaware Clients", which is an
improvement grammatically, but still fails to reflect the scope of what's
really happening.

Maybe we should change the title of that section to reflect the *goal*
rather than the specific approach.  Perhaps something such as "Preserving
Mergeinfo Integrity"?
