I think not. 'svn merge' is intended to take the changes between two
*repository* trees and merge those changes into your working copy,
whence you can then commit after (maybe) tweaking.

Merging automatically does schedule files for addition and deletion,
as you would expect. But your use case is very different, not really
something 'svn merge' was meant to address.
