Yes, the error messages aren't friendly.

Nevertheless, this error message usually means you've supplied
bad arguments to 'svn merge'. Are you certain that
/branches/myproject-branch existed in r6 and in HEAD?

(And by the way, next time, you should probably post to the users@
list, rather than the dev@ list.)
