AFAIK, both URLs to an svn merge command need to be from the same
repository.

And that's what you should be using too, because that's actually what
I think you want: You want to get a list of changes that occurred in
repository 1 between timepoints A and B (where A is the last point in
the past at which you obtained their changes, and B is likely "now"),
and then apply those changes to a working copy you already have of
repository 2. So you just need to go into your working copy of
repository 2 and do the merge:

svn merge -rA:B repository1

However, both repositories do need to be using the same *protocol*
(e.g. http:, https:, svn:, svn+ssh:, file:); if they don't, you'll
get an error message about this. I can't explain why this should be
necessary, but it currently is.
