ViewVC has not grown an option to support the use of merge history logic in
Subversion, and doing so is probably not simply a matter of tweaking that
boolean flag.  The Subversion API, when that flag is set, drives the log
receiver callbacks differently and in a way that ViewVC is not currently
written to expect.  Also, ViewVC would need some additional work in the UI
area to determine how to best display this (now-hierarchical) new
information.  Finally, there is (in my experience, at least) a
non-negligible performance penalty involved in employing in the
use-merge-history functionality that most admins would probably not want
their users to bear all the time.
