'svn merge' terminology

while poking around working on issue #785, i noticed a bit of a
terminology inconsistency:

in the 'svn help merge' output (and the similar reference in ch 8), the
syntax is described as:
  2. svn merge -r X:Y TARGET [PATH]

in the code (merge-cmd.c), however, 'target' refers to PATH, and
'source' refers to TARGET.

Ch. 4 also uses the word 'target' to refer to PATH.

The word 'target' does kind of make sense as a way of describing either
argument, but i think that it makes more sense for PATH; thus, I propose
that the 'svn help merge' output be changed to:
  2. svn merge -r X:Y SOURCE [PATH]

in any case, i'd like to see the terminology made consistent. i'm happy
to submit a patch if i get a thumbs-up from the list.
