There is already a Show Log button for the working copy branch. It is in
the 3rd groupbox. At the moment, selecting a revision here doesn't do
anything.

I think you are mistaken in using revision+1. You run the risk of losing
the change immediately after that revision. SVN is taking a diff between
the start and end points and applying to your WC. So the start point has
to be immediately *before* the changes you want to merge (that's why we
need to do r-1 a lot of the time). Read the TSVN and subversion manuals
for more explanation of this.
There may be a way to do what you want, but the difficulty always is
making it intuitive to use. I will think about that a bit further.
