Issue #345 is not a bug fix but a new feature. And per our rules, only
bugfixes get applied to the stable branches. New features are reserved
for the trunk only.
That means issue #345 won't get merged back to 1.4.x, sorry.

About your request to use the filename if no descriptive name is given:
I have to decline that one too. Because most of the time, we're dealing
with temp files in TSVN. And to use the filename of a tempfile is just
plain ugly and bad - because users will get confused.
