They basically ended up just improving the option to be harder to accidentally mis-set.

I think doing this change is technically trivial. The only concern is whether people will find it disruptive.

One option to put it in is to just tell people: use -Oappend_revisions_only=false if you don't like it. We could add a specific option for that.

Eventually it would be good to do a merge --into option.
