Many people are only working on one branch at a time, so they normally
want to merge changes from the same place many times. The combo box
retains tha last 20 URLs used in that repository, which is enough for
most people.

However, if you really want the URL of your working copy, it is shown at
the bottom of the merge dialog and you can copy and paste it into the
'From:' URL if that helps.
