Yes - I use svnmerge now with a 1.5 client against several 1.<mumble> servers.

I will admit (shamefully, as my name is on a few svnmerge commits)
admit that I use git for most of my merge tracking now.  I just use
svnmerge to handle synchronizing commits between two subversion repos.
 Since my merging needs in this case are minimal, continuing to use
svnmerge was easiest.  I think that I would switch to svn-1.5's native
merge-tracking if I were doing the "topic-branch" development that it
is designed to best support.
