What is the difference between

cd trunk
svn merge -r<revision where branch was cut>:<revision of trunk> svn://path/to/branch/branchName

and

cd trunk
svn merge svn://path/to/branch/branchName

Exactly nothing.

Since SVN 1.5 svn will retrieve revisions based on its merge tracking feature. So if you do not give a revision it figures out from which revision you created the branch and will start on this revision unil current HEAD revision.

Note: If you issue this command twice, the second time it will not merge again, as each revision is already tracked as merged.
