Understanding merge info (I)

Hi,

In the revision r3337 a simple tag was created on this public repository:

*svn log -r 3337:3337 http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse
<http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse> --username guest*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r3337 | markphip | 2007-09-15 01:25:57 +0200 (Sat, 15 Sep 2007) | 1 line

Create tag for 1.3.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if the -g parameter is added to the command line:

*svn log -g --stop-on-copy -r 3337:3337
http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse
<http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse> --username guest*

it returns a lot more of records saying *"Merged via: r3337"*

For instance:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r5 | cchab | 2003-06-21 00:10:43 +0200 (Sat, 21 Jun 2003) | 1 line
Merged via: r3337

subclipse folder created
------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does it mean? How is it possible create a branch in the revision N and
get merges in the same N revision?

Thank you,
Pablo
