svn merge question from the 1.1 book

Hi everyone.

In the 1.1 SVN book online:

  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-4-sect-3.1

down about half way through the subsection where the svn merge is done:

  svn merge -r 343:344 http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk

Can someone please explain why the URL argument at the end of this command
is needed? Can't SVN deduce it from the context of your working directory,
i.e., from the contents of your local .svn directory?

In fact, let's suppose you ARE NOT in your corresponding calc/trunk working
directory. Wouldn't it be an error, i.e., a mismatch in your actual working
directory and the URL repository/path argument you entered?

Thanks.

Raye
