Also, the python version has some new experimental features that have been
discussed in the mailing list in the past weeks. The ChangeLog is:

# - Add support for more informative commit message (-V).
# - Add double-verbose mode, which shows every svn command executed (-v -v)
# - "svnmerge avail" now only shows commits in head, not also commits in
other
#   parts of the repository.
# - Add "svnmerge block" to flag some revisions as blocked, so that they
#   will not show up anymore in the available list. Added also the
#   complementary "svmerge unblock". "svnmerge avail" has grown two new
options:
#   -B to display a list of the blocked revisions; -A to display both the
#   the blocked and the available revisions.

Testing is really appreciated, btw :)
