There is no way to do this using subversion or TortoiseSVN. In order
to make this work you would have to know in advance which files will
be updated, so TortoiseSVN would first have to query the repository
(effectively Check for Modification looking at both local and remote
changes) before starting the update. I think that would be
unacceptably slow for most users.

A better way of working is to commit your changes to the branch first
before merging from trunk. We have had a related feature request only
today which is to provide a warning if you attempt to merge into a
modified working copy.
