The argument is not simply that all double clicks should be removed
because some people do it accidentally. In this particular place, a
double click would 'Compare with WC'. If that revision involved a lot of
large changes, for example importing a new source tree into the
repository, there would be a very big unified diff to download (which
TMerge uses to show the changes) and you could find yourself blocked for
many minutes waiting for that unwanted action to complete.
