A checkbox like:
(x) "do the -1 magic for me"
would be very convenient and a great step to a high score in the GUI hall of
shame :-)

The quote is out of context here, but do we *really* explain which commit
causes the revision number to increase?
How about this:
We created the branch when trunk was in revision 36. This causes the copy
operation (create branch) to create revision 37. So revision 37 is pointing
to the branch you just created and revision 36 is pointing to trunk on which
work is continuing (r38, r39, ..., r50). If you now want to merge your trunk
changes into branch, you have to select 36 as the from revision, because
that's the point in time when the development was split into trunk and
branch. If you want to merge everything up to revision 50, the range you
have to enter is 36-50.
