Actually, if you and some others were to say that running svn log -g
on the root of their repository is not too bad for them I could see
allowing a preference for this. It would be important for a warning
dialog to be popped up when/if someone tried to turn it on though.
Obviously if someone just sees a checkbox that says "Include merge
information on revision graph" they are going to check it. We'd need
to do our best to let them know how bad a choice that can be.
