Seriously, is 'svn help merge' not short and clear? The very first
thing it says is:

merge: apply the differences between two sources to a working copy path.
usage: 1. merge sourceURL1[@N] sourceURL2[@M] [WCPATH]
        2. merge -r N:M SOURCE [WCPATH]

And yet in all your attempts to use 'svn merge', you never specified
two sources. Philip had to tell you to do this.

I'll take this as constructive criticism. Chapter 4 of the book
*does* give an example of how to port a change from one branch to
another. But yes, we should probably generalize the example into this
most common use-case. I'll add it to the to-do list for the book.
