No, definitely not. That would be _very_ dangerous (automatically
merging the changes from trunk). You have to merge in the changes
manually, using the merge dialog. And you will also have to remember the
revisions you already merged in, because if you don't you will end up
with "mutliple merges" which cause conflicts in your working copy.
See the Subversion book about that:
