I think this makes sense in the case of blocked revisions too. It helps
documenting why a certain revision was blocked. In fact, I was thinking of
adding it as "svnmerge block" option -m, like a commit message. But your
solution is more general. In fact, I could make "svnmerge block -m"
automatically invoke "svnmerge tag" or whatever we want to call this option.

Makes sense. I would also show them in "svnmerge avail -l", together with
the logs (without adding yet another "svnmerge avail" option).

Other opinions?
