Well, the syntax looks close, but my understanding is different.

svn merge is almost identical to svn diff.

I thought the X:Y is the versions in trunk to diff from. And the
last argument should be trunk while issuing the command from the
rc1 working dir (after checking it out, of course).

I'll look at the redbean book and make sure, but since I looked
at this earlier, I'm fairly confident. Just keep in mind about
how svn merge is almost identical to svn diff.

So essentially, in layman English, my understanding is as follows:

svn merge -r TheRevNumberToDiffAgainst:TheOtherRevNumberToDiffAgainst 
URLforTrunk

while issuing the command in the working dir of the checked out rc1 tag.

And, in case it's not handy:

Sorry for the redundancy in this message.

==============================================

Now, all that said, it may be simpler to copy the files from
trunk to a checked-out rc1 tag manually. I'm not sure how well the
general.ent file will merge. It seems it would have conflicts (due
to the several version changes between trunk and rc1).

I would have committed the KDE changes separate from the changelog
and general.ent files. That way, there is no possible conflicts. But
there may not be any anyway.
