Remember that the syntax of 'svn merge' is 2 URLs and a working-copy-
object: "compare these two URLs, and apply the difference to this
working-copy-object right here". But that syntax will not work if
the working-copy-object doesn't exist. You cannot apply a difference
to a non-existent target! That's why you need to do the merge on the
parent directory of the missing thing: compare two snapshots of the
parent dir, and apply the diff to the parent dir.

To do this, you could have avoided 'svn merge' altogether, and simply
run an 'svn copy -r N URL working-copy' command.
