Merge requires two URLs and a working copy path, in the above commands
the "." argument converts to the trunk URL and the working copy path
defaults to the current directory.

None of the above. To merge you need to provide two URLs that define
the limits of the change to be merged, neither of those is the trunk
URL. I would suggest using the "svn merge -rREV1:REV2 URL WC" form of
the command.

You need to get some revision numbers, try

svn log http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/issue-951-dev

and to merge use something like

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk wc
svn merge -r4199:HEAD http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/issue-951-dev wc

"svn revert" is non-recursive by default.
