The reason is explained in the blog post. The reason is that there is
no right answer. It is not always true that excluding the revision is
the right thing to do.
First off, there are inexperienced or sloppy users that will commit a
merge that also contains other unrelated changes. If we just skip the
revision those changes are lost.
The main issue is that when you commit a merge you also are committing
the conflict resolution work you did. If you skip the revision you
skip all of that work.
Anyway, this would be a better request for users_at_subversion as this
logic would have to be added to Subversion.
