Yes its was :-)

Please find a screenshot attached where you can see it using TSVN 1.7.4
Starting with TSVN 1.7.5 this message box is missing. I validated this by testing several TSVN versions today using the same process (trying to commit parts of a merged branch)

As far as i remember this feature was added to an unoffical 1.6.99 version which then became the 1.7 line.
