Merging - why do I need a path ?

Hi - Can anybody explain to why when doing a merge you need to enter the path in the following manner:
svn merge --dry-run -r 40:41 svn://ipofserver/phoenix/trunk/gui/mpa c:/scstest/hiptapp/mpa
I'm trying to merge the commit that resulted in revision 41 - surely subversion knows what path(s) in the repository that revision 41 related to so why can't I just enter svn://ipofserver - I can sort of undertand why I need to enter a destination path for my working copy but am a confused what happens if revision 41 included several files in different directories - do you just use the top most path as the path for your working copy.
The reason I wanted to do this was to try & simplify my merging. When I do a commit I store that revision against a ticket number in a database & assumed that it would have been sufficient just to store the revision number rather than all the paths.
Thanks - Can you include me in the reply as I not a member of the users mailing group - well I was but I got swamped with emails & my boss wasn't happy !
Simon
