tsvn:mergelogtemplatemsg
tsvn:mergelogtemplatereversetitle
tsvn:mergelogtemplatetitle

Doesn't happen for me: all text fields are filled in properly.

That depends: you can set it on the repo root only if all your clients
use svn 1.8. For pre-1.8 clients there are no inherited properties so
for those you have to set the property recursively on all folders.

I would recommend it, yes. But it's not needed for svn 1.8 since it has
inherited properties.
