With the merge dialog open press F1, then navigate to the help from the
popup.

The revision picker for this dialog operates under the assumption that you
will pick the revision or revision range that you want to merge. Assuming
you want to merge the changes committed in revision N, the syntax in
Subversion for doing so is to specify a from value of N-1 and a to value
of N. So if the changes you want were committed in revision 25, the
syntax to merge that revision is a from of 24 and a to of 25.

I would search the Subversion users@ list and also their FAQ. I know this
comes up a lot. I believe it most typically occurs when you include in
your revision the revision when the branch was created. And the text of
your message confirms this. If you created your branch in revision 25,
and committed the fixes in revision 26. Then you only want to merge the
latter.
