 From a previous merge. That's why it's called 'svn:mergeinfo'.

Please, please: read the subversion book:

An 'update to revision' is *not* the same as a revert. And 'revert'
means for subversion clients to undo *local* changes.
If you want to revert your changes from a previous revision, use the log
dialog, right-click on that revision and choose the appropriate context
menu entry.

That's correct.

It shows what you started it for: if you right-clicked on a file, that's
what it shows. If you right-clicked on a folder, it will show you the
content of that folder. Why is that confusing?

If you "check repository", the the revision is the one in the
repository. Otherwise your local revision.
