Merge doesn't honour specified SOURCE

Hi,

I noticed the following behaviour in merge (svn 1.5.0) which seems to violate the
svn help merge output:

Create a repository containing a file src/dir/file. Change this file in
revision 2 and try to revert it using:

$ svn merge -c -2 src

Nothing happens! Specifying . or src/dir/file instead of src it works.
This violates the help:

      3. merge [-c M[,N...] | -r N:M ...] SOURCE[@REV] [WCPATH]

  3. In the third form, SOURCE can be either a URL or a working copy
     path (in which case its corresponding URL is used). SOURCE (in
     revision REV) is compared as it existed between revisions N and M
     for each revision range provided. If REV is not specified, HEAD
     is assumed. '-c M' is equivalent to '-r <M-1>:M', and '-c -M'
     does the reverse: '-r M:<M-1>'. If no revision ranges are
     specified, the default range of 0:REV is used. Multiple '-c'
     and/or '-r' instances may be specified, and mixing of forward
     and reverse ranges is allowed.

$ svn diff -c 2 src
produces an output and confirms that there is a change in src in r2.

A bug?
