1) I can't find any scenario where a user would type "tla star-merge
   patch-XX" meaning something else, and in which the proposed
   behavior would be harmfull (but there may be one I've missed).

2) star-merging on later revision is somethimes meaningfull:

$ tla logs | tail -1
patch-42
$ tla star-merge --three-way patch-56
...
