Merges aren't done on branches in the repository though--they're done
between a working copy and the repository. When you do a merge, you
generally only specify a single repository URL (the exception being the
"merge two different trees" option, but in that case, both repo URLs
define the "source" of the merge; you're still merging into your working
copy).

In any case, I don't think the documentation for the conflict resolution
process needs to be on the window; the terms are clear enough if you
read the TSVN help file.
