There is no reason that we have to follow the particular command line
usage that you are used to. For merging two trees the only possible
way to specify it is by URL and revision, to identify two fixed states
of the repository, the same as your subversion command line.

For merging a range of revisions you can either consider a revision as
a changeset and use the -c notation, or you can consider a revision as
a state of the repository and you need two states to take the
difference. Both are equally valid, but the changeset notation is much
more natural when selecting revisions using the log dialog, which is
the easiest way with a GUI client. If the -c method was not valid or
uesful it would not even exist in the command line client.
