I've found that even "modular" new features can be pretty annoying in
merging to the trunk -- even if they start out the same on both the
trunk and branch, many files seem to nevertheless generate a lot of
merge conflicts. Often this is because people make the same change in
different ways on the trunk and on the branch (for instance, due to a
certain function being usable on the trunk but not on the branch).
New features seem to be a bigger problem in this regard than the
majority of the code-base, probably because they tend to get more
development.
