I'm afraid it's hard for me to follow what you are trying to do.

What kind of merge are you doing? Are you reintegrating the branch to
trunk (the branch will be abandoned once the merge was successful) or
do you want to cherry pick changes from the branch to trunk?

What's your desired end result? Do you want the tree structures to
stay as they are now on both the branch and the trunk, and only merge
textual changes between files which are semantically equivalent but
have different names or locations on the branch than on trunk?
Or do you want the tree structures to match up after the merge?
