svn merge "autodiscover" parent branch?

This might be a nitpick, but it would be nice if when working on a
branch I can rebase to the parent branch without typing in a long URL.
For example:

svn copy https://hostname/svn/project/trunk
https://hostname/svn/project/branches/whizbang-feature

svn co https://hostname/svn/project/branches/whizbang-feature

cd whizbang-feature

# Do some work

svn merge # Look, no arguments!

and have Subversion realize that no arguments means to go back in the
history of my branch and find my parent (who I was copied from) and do a
merge. At the moment I have to type:

svn merge https://hostname/svn/project/trunk

More typing, more chances to hit the wrong key and have to do it again J

Is anyone aware of this as a current feature request or did I miss
something in the merge helptext?
