Help understanding branch merges

I have a (beginner) question about merging code from a branch back into
We made a branch, and one programmer was developing in that branch.
Working from a current directory with my up-top-date HEAD in it, I ran
svn merge --dry-run svn://host/app
The files listed for changing looked somewhat like what I was expecting,
BUT: what appears to have happened is that
b) some files (which had been added to the trunk AFTER the branch was
Parts b) and c) were NOT what I was expecting at all from merging.
It appears that my problem is a flavor of something I saw mentioned in
But what I am wondering, is what exactly is the syntax I *should* have
My branch was created with revision 99. So maybe I should have used
svn merge --dry-run svn://host/app_at_99
?
