I know svn had poor merge-tracking prior to 1.5 (where svn:mergeinfo came into play), so it may be hard to actually find true merges w/o that.

OK, here are all our current branches, I will go through them in order 
of last-modified date.

Proposal: move the above to refs/archive and not worry any further about 
them.  Maybe we can throw them out in 2020.
