I think we should stick with terms already adopted, 'fusione' is weird
but if svnbook uses it maybe we should use it as well.
By the way, speaking with other italians I always use 'merge/fare il merge'.
Moreover, I just took a quick glance and if I'm not wrong you use
terms as 'changeset'.

I agree with you, but see above...

I second this, a lot of users use only the english terms.

In the current hg translation I used 'fare pull/fare push', why don't
we try to agree upon a common terminology?
