Both your "expected" usage and actual usage are wrong, most likely.
In most cases, your From and To URLs will be identical. A merge is
"calculate the difference between these 2 points and apply the
difference to this working copy." So you should have a WC of your
trunk, right-click on that, and merge "from" the revision in the
branch where you want to start making the diff, and "to" the last
revision in the branch where you want to stop diffing.
