The feature is explained here:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/branch_tag.html

It is mostly just for some UI niceness.

If you want merge to be easier upgrade your server to SVN 1.5.1 and
install the CollabNet Desktop, which includes a merge client built on
Subclipse.

http://desktop-eclipse.open.collab.net/

There are details on the Getting Started tab.
