Why Merge-Tracking is disabled?

Merged two branches, but merge tracking did not work. Couldn't find any
reason.
After desperate efforts I more or less accidentially used the "Only record
the merge"-option. Now I could see an error message: "Merge from foreign
repository is not compatible with mergeinfo modification". And the reason of
the trouble was: on checkout I used a different case to specify the
svn-server-name (example: "svn://MyServer/repo1/trunc" and
"svn://Myserver/repo1/branch/v11").
First wish: It should be easier to find out, why merge tracking did not
work.
Second wish: At least the server name part should not be considered as case
sensitive.
Third wish: To avoid a messy and disturbing situation, it should be possibe
to protect against merges without merge tracking.
