Ok, perhaps you are right. I will test more with a hidden setting on.

Because I get conflicts otherwise.
Will try to create a reproduction recipe on a test repository tomorrow.
Form the description you gave this sounds like an SVN bug.

I was talking not about 'Merge all' command, but about
"To merge all revisions, leave the box empty" label in a standard merge wizard.
First, does it not make 'Merge all' obsolete?
I think Stefan already answered me positively,
but after seeing it still in the source I am not sure any more.
Second, the problem is not that it merges everything (that would be
understandable),
but that it merges nothing -- at least in my tests.
