Revert anything that wasn't added:

svn merge -r 123:456 SOURCE_URL TARGET_WORKSPACE
svn status > start.txt
echo start.txt | grep -v '^A' merge.log | sed 's/.......//' | xargs svn
revert
svn status > end.txt
diff start.txt end.txt
svn commit -m "merge -r 123:456 SOURCE_URL"

The diff of start.txt with end.txt is to prove that you will only commit
added files.

fyi: Do not use HEAD when merging. You need to use a specific number
instead. Otherwise your merging tracking will be inaccurate (since HEAD
is a random number.)
