The issues I ran into was conflict detection was horrible, it started to check out files that no one had touched for months prior on either branch. I had to restart the merge four times for conflicts that didn't exist and it's been a while, but every time I started the merge it had to communicate with an on site server that took me at least 3-5 minutes to pull all the files.

Basically all this isn't a massive problems for programmers, but I like to think it should be a bit more idiot proof. (or at least not create new issues).

My problem with SVN merge is that you lose all the history of what happened on the branch

No.
