Hmmm... the list didn't like the attachment, so here it is in the body.
Note that the log is NOT sorted by the time of the update, but by the File

FWICT, CVSNT handles that rather handsomely.  I did some experimentation
with the branchpoint merging on a small module with several sandboxes
(checked out HEAD and branches) and was able to merge branch -> HEAD, HEAD
-> branch, multiple times, back and forth with no trouble at all.  Test it
out for yourself if you like, but here is a log from the file I was
"playing" with.

You'll notice the "mergepoint" fields in all records where I did a merge,
and the mergepoint record always contains the "from" version that was merged
in (the record already has the "old" and "new" of the file being merged).
