I think that's a comma splice, and perhaps wants to be something like

 ... is allowed; however, the ranges ...

I also think "which may result in a no-op" is a little too technical
wording. Actually; I'm unconvinced that the note about compacting is
necessary at all. I guess the actual point is that

  svn merge -c 123 -c 854

might not be the same thing as

  svn merge -c 123
  svn merge -c 854

?
