[TSVN] merge enhancement: use locally stored revisions when patches are applied

Hello All,
I would like to describe an issue that we have with TortoiseSVN. This is not very critical but resolving the issue will eliminate a performance problem during applying patches using TortoiseSVN.

When a patch is applied using "TortoiseSVN/Apply Patch...", and the patch requires getting files from Subversion, the TortoiseMerge reads a revision from a repository even if it is available locally.

Example scenario:
1. Have a clean checkout from a repository that needs to be patched. Let's assume that current revision in the repository is 100;
2. Have two patches that modify the same file A.CPP. The patches should be created against top revision, e.g. 100th revision;
3. Apply first patch. No problems occur;
4. Apply second patch. Problem: TortoiseMerge retrieves revision [100] from remote repository. However, this revision can be accessible locally from .svn folder.

Thank you,
 Pavel
