This is probably not what you want to do - you either want to "Merge a
range of revisions" (if you're not using SVN 1.5 merge tracking), or
"Reintegrate a branch" (if you are using merge tracking).

Again, this probably isn't what you want to do - to merge your branch
to the trunk, both the "From" and "To" will be your branch and the
revisions will be the first revision of the branch and the HEAD of the
branch.
If you had chosen the appropriate "Merge type" the complexity would
have been hidden from you (you would only have one branch to choose
where to merge from).
I suggest that you read the merging section in the SVN book carefully
- this stuff will make sense if you understand what merging actually
does.
