We had some feedback for the alpha release, but mostly that was about
people not understanding the new features or specifically about TSVN.

One issue that was reported about a merge:
when specifying revisions like this "1234,1240-1237,1390", the merge
actually is done in that order (first 1234, then 1240-1237, then 1390),
which is not what the user expected.
I haven't had the time to check, but last time I tried that (ok, I admit
that was some time ago), Subversion 'sorted' the revisions before doing
the merge. So that means that I either have read the docs wrong and I
have to sort the revisions myself first before calling the API, or
there's a bug in svn - my guess is the first (that's why I haven't
reported it yet - I like to check first myself).
