The trick is to use the --stop-on-copy (to stop at branch point)
-v (to show patsh) options of the svn log command:
$ svn log --stop-on-copy -v .

Find the revision at which the branch was created using
"svn log" as above. Then copy the old version of the branch
on top of the current version:
svn rm ^/branch
svn copy ^/trunk_at_12345 ^/branch
