Or perhaps bite the bullet and insert a log list control here,
with some kind of multi-selection?
I am afraid displaying revision range as list of numbers would be next to
useless for complex merges.
Does 1.5 allow multiple sources in the single merge in addition to
multiple ranges from the same source?

I have not looked to SVN API upon which this command is based,
but is it possible to get a revision ranges / sources without
performing the merge itself?
If so, I think it would be the best way, as it gives user a chance
to preview and understand what will happen.

While I personally rarely, if ever, use it, it is still a valid action.

Most of TortoiseSVN users are developers, so I think we can safely
target at above-idiot level ;-)
