This is probably a bit tricky.
One of the main things to keep in mind is that since we're not pulling from official released and versioned packages, we need to have a manual step in any merges.
Aside from the most obvious issue of API changes, there are also extremely subtle behavioral changes that often break our Inkscape code when a fresh 2geom pull is done (the difference between mathematical "empty rectangle" versus computer graphics "empty rectangle" is a good example)
I do know that this need for manual intervention was one reason we didn't do a "live" SVN hookin from 2geom.
Yeah I agree. It's best not to update Inkscape's 2geom copy, unless you are sure some bug got fixed or you need a newer 2geom. Also, note that Inkscape's copy does not (and shouldn't) contain all 2geom's files.
