FWIW, I do not think that is any clearer.

In the transcript below there are at least two misconceptions:

1) He is using a WC path as his merge source. All Subversion does in
this case, is use that path to figure out the repository URL.
Disconnect from the network and try for yourself. In other words, a
merge is always coming from the repository.

2) You cannot do a URL <-> URL merge directly in the repository.

I guess our terminology is similar to Perforce, but I also think that
same terminology is used by most tools that do similar functions.
