Yes, but you can't select the changset that created the branch by selecting
rev. of branch creation because branch didn't exist at (rev. create - 1), but
TSVN doesn't see that. This is what, a part, I'm talking about.
Then, you have to select original branch, from which dev. branch had been
copied, by deselecting 'Use "From" URL' and 'stop on copy'. What a mess !!

I would be glad to do the same thing by simply selecting all the rev. starting
at the branch creation to last changeset I want to merge and let TSVN see that
I wanted to merge changes from when it at been copied...
