[Svnmerge] Command line options order

Hi Giovanni,

I just ran into this:

$ svnmerge -s -v -r 92481 merge
svnmerge: option -r not recognized
Type 'svnmerge help' for usage

I finally figured out that I had to use

$ svnmerge -s -v merge -r 92481

I think one of the large issues that Subversion learned from CVS was that 
positional command line options are a pain to use and that svn takes special 
care to not care where in the command line a particular command line option appears.

Can we get this changed?

Thanks,
Blair
