Reading the help for the 'block' command, I can see why you chose
'hidden' as a command name:

    """Block revisions within PATH so that they disappear from the available
    list. This is useful to hide revisions which will not be integrated.
    If --revision is omitted, it defaults to all the available revisions.

    Do not use this option to hide revisions that were manually merged
    into the branch.  Instead, use '%s merge --record-only', which
    records that a merge happened (as opposed to a merge which should
    not happen)."""

That said, I'm still not fond of it, as the most common usage of the
word "hide" does not in my mind create an accurate description of the
command's behavior.

When svnmerge.py blocks revisions, it's not hiding them from view in
general, only hiding them from the 'avail' command.  But svnmerge.py
is doing more than just that -- it's also preventing blocked revisions
from being merged from one branch to another.


block (transitive verb)

   1. To make unsuitable for passage or progress by obstruction.
   2. To hinder the passage, progress, or accomplishment of by or as if by interposing an obstruction.
   3. To shut off from view <forest canopy blocking the sun>.
   4. To interfere usually legitimately with (as an opponent) in various games or sports.
   5. To prevent normal functioning of g : to restrict the exchange of (as currency or checks).

hide (transitive verb)

   1. To put or keep out of sight; secrete.
   2. To prevent the disclosure or recognition of; conceal: tried to hide the facts.
   3. To cut off from sight; cover up: Clouds hid the stars.
   4. To avert (one's gaze), especially in shame or grief.


I'm definitely +1 on the "show blocked revisions" functionality!  More
comments inline below.

Yup, it's already applied.  ;-)

I'd prefer the text "blocked from merge".

The patch looks really good, basically ready to apply after we
complete discussion of the command name.

Well, David James effectively killed more conversation on this topic
while getting ready to commit your patch by noticing the 'avail -B'
('avail --blocked') command already exists.
