Does svn merge --reintegrate ^URL syntax really work ?

Hi,

I'm learning Subversion via svn-book, I encountered a problem in section
"Reintegrating a Branch":
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.basicmerging.html#svn.branchemerge.basicmerging.reintegrate

In this section, it use the following syntax:
svn merge --reintegrate ^/branches/my-calc-branch

But when I try it, it always report an error:
E:\Incoming\svntest\calc\trunk>svn merge ^../branches/my-calc-branch
--reintegrate
svn: 不能打开文件“file:///E:/SVNRepository/svntest/calc/branches/.svn/entries”:
文件名、目录名或卷标语法不正确。
(can't open file
"file:///E:/SVNRepository/svntest/calc/branches/.svn/entries": File
name、Directory name or volume syntax incorrect)

Then I try full URL syntax (which is in svn-book-1.5), it works.
E:\Incoming\svntest\calc\trunk>svn merge --reintegrate
file:///E:/SVNRepository/svntest/calc/branches/my-calc-branch
--- 正在合并版本库 URL 之间的差异到 “.”：
U int.c
 U .

I search the svn log of svn-book, I found this syntax was changed in
svn-book-r3383:
"Modify ch01 and ch04 to use new ^ URL syntax. (Issue #23.)"

So, does svn merge --reintegrate ^URL syntax really work ?
