I have found the merge semantics to be somewhat unclear. Perhaps that some
assistance in the merge box could have made merge easier... Newbies (like I
was up to a fortnight ago) find it hard to understand that the merge is not
of directories but rather of a set of diffs and a directory...
Some way of making this clearer in the dialog would have been a huge help.

]Subject: [TSVN] Merge dialog layout
]
]Hi all,
]
]Just tried my first merge in TortoiseSVN. All went well, but
]the layout of the dialog is such that you will almost *never*
]see the entire urls -- easy to make a mistake given the
]similarity of names across tags and branches.
]
]Putting the the revision and show log stuff below the url's
]would fix it.
]
]Also: there is nothing to tell you the WC path you are merging
]into in this window, so you had better have right clicked on
]the right thing in explorer -- something that is easy to screw up.
]
]Should I log this as a request somewhere?
]
]ps. Great App! (Didn't want to have totally negative post)
]
]cheers,
]Brett
