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 .

So /branch was copied from /trunk_at_1.

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
