[Svnmerge] Remembering --bidirectional status

Hi,
Currently one has to supply the -b/--bidirectional option to many merge
operations. Presumably, if this option is used inconsistently during
later merges, nonsense will result.
Wouldn't it be nicer to allow the --bidirectional option to be passed to
"svnmerge.py init" and remember it in the svnmerge properties? If a
directory is initialized in this way, then later operations would
automatically be done in bidirectional mode.
(I can't think of a use case for mixing bidirectional and
non-bidirectional merges between the same two directories, but if there
is, one could add a --nonbidirectional option to override the implicit one.)
