[Monotone-devel] merge commands arguments

[Zbigniew Zagórski]

Hello all,

I see some inconsistency in merge command parameters.

1. explicit_merge & merge
They lack possibility to override message by '--message' and
'--message-file' arguments

2. merge_into_dir
Has all interesting arguments to customize revision info but:
Why one can't merge from explicit revision but only from head
of some branch ?

Maybe merge_into_dir should have syntax changed from:
  merge_into_dir SOURCE-BRANCH DEST-BRANCH DIR
to
  merge_into_dir SOURCE-REV DEST-BRANCH DIR
so one can use any selector as SOURCE-REV to choose revision.

It may be convenient to have those parameters.

Don't know whether it's 'by design' or just anyone needed to make it consistent.

I'm thinking about fixing those issues so I'm just asking for comments.
