Well, I don't really go for names that suggest the directive contains
the revisions, because that's only one way of using them.  Bundle Buggy,
for example, is quite happy to accept merge directives that have no bundle.

Not to mention that "merge request" is already used to describe posts to
the mailing list with [merge] in their subject line.

You know, if I didn't have "a changeset is a fancy diff" ingrained in my
soul, that wouldn't be so bad.  But because changesets are typically
described as deltas, I think it gives the wrong connotations.

Something like "merge description" or "change description" is really
what I want to communicate.
