When I try your example, the following all give me the exact same output:
svn merge $R/trunk
svn merge -g
svn merge -g $R/trunk
There has been a lot of recent talk about the revisions mentioned in
the notifications. I suspect there is a bug (I believe there are
issues open).
It looks like merge is doing the right thing though. It is just the
notification that is questionable.
