It is a warning about svnmerge using a method that will no longer be 
available in python3.  It is to help developers transition their code 
from python2 to python3 and is nothing to worry about.  If we don't want 
to wait on upstream, fixing this is fairly simple (we had the same issue 
in namcap).
