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.
