You haven't explained what you are doing, but I can guess that it is the
same mistake that many other people have made. We have now improved the
docs to explain it better. You can see the updated version in the
nightly build (1.1.3 beta) or wait until Friday for the official 1.1.3
release.

It sounds like you need to merge a range of revisions in your branch
back into the trunk.

Make sure your WC is for the trunk, not the branch (Switch to trunk).

Open the merge dialog.
Select the branch URL as the "From URL"
Select the revision just _before_ your changes start.
Make sure the "Use From: URL" checkbox is checked.
Select the last revision in the branch that you want to merge.
Go!

The From/To pair is being used to select the range of revisions that are
being merged. They do _not_ represent the source and destination of the
merge. The destination is always your WC.
