I think using the log dialog should be enough. You can select there
the revisions you want to merge too, no need to embed the log dialog
in the wizard page.

No, one source, one revision range. No multiple ranges either: we have
to call the merge API for every non-consecutive merge range.

It's possible to get the sources, yes. But as I mentioned before: if I
try that on the TSVN trunk url, it took 3 minutes to get the
information (and 1.5MB data transferred).

The preview is already there: it's called "dry run". We should use
that one as a preview.

We're talking about the URLs here, not the revision. But "last
url/first url" might not be so bad?
