I suggest you read the chapters on Branching and Merging. It explains the merge tracking and how it works.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge

Basically, when you merge from one path to another svn will record that information in a property (place depends on what path your merge target is). So, the next time you merge it will check the recorded merge info and not merge the previously merged revisions again.

Although, I suggest you get up to 1.6.13... there have been many fixes to mergeinfo since 1.5.x.
