way to make merge URL default to same file/folder in repo

This might be a feature request...
When you do a revision range merge, you need to specify a URL to merge from.
Right now, the default is the URL you used last time. I think it should be
the URL that is your current Explorer context instead (e.g. what you
right-clicked on, or your current folder).
The reason is:
You need to do a reverse merge to undo erroneous commits. But when you undo
those commits, you are always doing a reverse merge only on the affected
file itself, so you want to do the merge only from that URL. Otherwise, if
you have to undo 25 files that were committed incorrectly, you may have to
type the URL for each individually.

(You could reverse merge an entire folder, but you might reverse merge some
files/folders that you don't want to unless they were all in a single
revision.)

I hope that makes sense.
