Right-drag the folder with the new files over the folder that's under
svn control. When you release the right mouse button, a context menu
appears and one of the entries shown there is named "SVN vendorbranch
here". Click on that.
TortoiseSVN will then copy over all the files, remove the files that are
not in the new version anymore and 'svn add' all the new files.
