So you create a patch between two trees and apply it to a third ...

... but this would confuse users (BTW "create a diff" has the same
problems) and as I am not completely satiesfied with the merge3.png
proposal, how about calling it a "change set"?
(cf. http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#changesets )

I suggest a merge dialog like this

Apply Change set
  From tree:
  To tree:
to working copy at url: <url>

This is sometimes also used on the svn dev mailing list:
"Apply changes of rev XYZ" meaning the changeset from revision XYZ - 1
to XYZ (in that order).

I don't mind, where the " use url for 'to tree' " check box is placed.
