I just tried this using TSVN 1.6.5, and it was as I said: TortoiseSVN offered to commit all the files from both locations.
In more detail:
1. I edited within folder 1 in my branch WC
2. I edited within folder 2 in my trunk WC
3. I copied folder 1 from my branch WC into my trunk WC, overwriting the contents of the trunk WC's folder 1 (including .svn dirs).
4. I selected Svn Commit...
5. Both the files in folder 1 (copied from the branch) and folder 2 (always the trunk) displayed in the commit dialog.
6. I verified that the Svn path of the copied folder 1 is still the branch, while folder 2 is the trunk, as is the parent of folders 1 and 2.
