Merge issues

I'm failing to understand the merge syntax thus failing to merge my branches predictably.

Please explain to me the exact meaning of the command:

svn merge -r 25:30 file:///repos/branch <file:///repos/branch>

I am basically attempting to merge from the trunk revision 1 to a branch, but
I keep seeing my results of "A" for some files and it attempts to delete other files
which I don't want and it also deletes portions of code that I don't want.

Please help.

Thanks
