I know - I'll try to change the text of those buttons to match the
language of TSVN.

That's just the bitmap we already have in the About dialog. I haven't
had the time to create a separate bitmap yet :)

Yes, if you leave it empty, that's the same as "Merge all".

I'll change that...

The "Record only" checkbox is a setting for the merge, so it's not
really a feature that requires a separate button.

The diff buttons have to go because what diff should we show for
multiple revision ranges? Only the merge command can work on those, not
the diff command.

I copied those descriptions from our manual. I needed something there
and I'm now waiting for better suggestions there :)
