Yes we do.  Actually doing it _properly_ would make future imports easier.

No, that would make future merges harder.  Let's say you want to apply a
patchset P, if it's already accepted by upstream, you would do:

  - Commit it against vendor/.../dist
  - "svn merge -c <commit> ^..../dist" or merge -r<earlier commit>:<commit>

If the patchset was not accepted at the time, but later accepted as-is, you
would compensate the local change with:

  - Commit it against vendor/.../dist
  - "svn merge -c ... --record-only ..."

Lastly, if the patchset was adopted by upstream with changes, you would do
a similar change for the first one, but tweak the local copy to reduce diff
against the cherry-picked dist/ version.

This way, svn would know that the change is already done in dist/ and
calculate diff's more accurately for future merges.

Note that Slava didn't commit the mergeinfo update in head/, which should
be done to take advantage of this maneuver.  Without it, svn would have
problem figuring the right delta.
