You are correct, it wasn't an argument.  I've never seen numbered alternatives 
anywhere *except* the svn merge help (which I've never looked at before, since 
I/we don't use it for python development).  And I don't like them.  (svn merge 
uses them to cross reference the explanatory comments that follow, but I still 
don't like them and I think the svnmerge help would read better without them.)

I see your point about the alternate form, though you could still use -m by 
making sure your modified Lib dir was in PYTHONPATH, or run it with the Lib dir 
as the CWD.  Without doing that I don't think you'd be testing your modified 
Lib directory anyway (though you would be running the modified test files).  
I'm not sure about that, though, I haven't run enough experiments :)
