The /svn/!svn/bc/... is internal to the repository which is why it
looks unfamiliar. It's not even very useful as an end user message as
the internal workings are only of interest to the subversion
developers.
It's possible that you have your from and to URLs the wrong way round,
although I can't tell as I don't know what you are merging. But
merging trees is confusing and not very intuitive. I suggest having
another look at the help file and if that doesn't resolve it you need
to provide us with more information about what you are trying to
achieve with this merge operation.
