Hm, my idea was to _optionally_ offer this functionality. I should not
be required.
But if somebody or a team decides to _adhere_ to a convention (e.g. a
fixed log msg in that case) we could _help_ them if you offer such a
optional functionality. Of course it should be customizable. (I think
you already have such things, e.g. i can select if I always want to
have the OK dialog at the end of a operation or only in certain
situations...)

right, --recordy-only and merge does not do a commit of course.
however we could output a text at the end of such a operation (similar
to the case i described).
Maybe a text that follows the tips of:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.advanced.html#svn.branchmerge.advanced.blockchanges
e.g. (just my idea):
"with --record-only you blocked the changeset %d.
It is recommended to commit this blocked changeset immediately as
single commit.
Please use the following $log during commit.
Block r3328 from being merged to the branch. (or better)
Blocked changeset %d from being merged from %urlFrom to %urlTo."
how about that or something similar.
I am uncertain but I think there is no metadata in svn where you can
distinguish between such a blocked changeset and a "normal" merge,
right ?. So the user should really follow this rule and I would be
happy if you offer this.
BTW. Thanks for the great work you do with TSVN. This is really
fantastic. :-)

thanks again,
