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.

2007-11-07  lightweight_feature_branch

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

2009-06-17  restriction-refactor

Proposal: delete, looks like it was merged in
