It's for the new 'peg-rev' syntax in svn 1.1 for tracing renames.

    svn merge -rX:Y URL@Z working-copy

This command means: "Jump to coordinates (Z, URL), then trace history
backwards to find the same object in revisions X and Y -- which may
have had a different names in those revisions. Then compare the
old-names of URL in revision X and Y."

Yes, I'm painfully aware that the peg-rev stuff isn't yet in the book.
