+            <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>
