A couple of weeks, maybe. The Oracle branch is going first and that's
probably blocking on me installing Oracle at home to test it during the
merge.

However, it's also a bit irrelevant on many levels, since the unicode
branch is synced with trunk about twice a week. So it's just like using
trunk.

Excellent.

Read the UnicodeBranch wiki page.

Have a look at the rest of the posts in this thread. Notice that all
reported bugs are relatively trivial and have been fixed very quickly.
Should give you a feeling for how likely there are to be huge
insurmountable problems.
