Yes. That's exactly where the tortured syntax logic lives. It's
specific to the commandline client.

Right. Most likely, a GUI would use the svn_client_merge() interface
in a non-tortured way. (I mean, svn_client_merge() is a very simple
interface: it simply wants two URLs to compare, and a working copy
path to apply the diffs to.)
