It looks like both paths are working copy paths?
I think you need a URL in there.

It's always a good idea to view a diff before merging, so that
you'll see whether the changes you are about to merge make sense.

Try something like this:

        cd working-copy-of-vendor-branch
        svn diff -r7612:7615 ^/branches/vendor1

Note that by using the ^ notation a URL is specified.
If the changes that diff shows you are the ones you'd like
to apply to your working copy, run a merge:

        svn merge -r7612:7615 ^/branches/vendor1

Did this help?
