The short explanation for the wrong rev number is that you have to add
840074 to it first. The long explanation can be found at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/README.
Issue 3475 appears to have been for "svn patch" rather than "svn
merge", but it's more or less the same problem. It looks like this is
the diff that fixed the issue for svn patch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c?r1=879495&r2=879496&pathrev=879496
Something similar would probably fix the problem for svn merge as well.
