Here's the problem. After you merge a branch into trunk, you should
delete the branch.

If you want to continue, then create a new branch after deleting the old
one. (Generally you shouldn't be doing this though -- these sorts of
branches are "feature branches" or "topic branches" and should be
ephemeral and not need re-creation.)

(There is a way to "repair" a merged branch so that it can be worked on
without deleting it, but it's not recommended.)

Alternately, you shouldn't be working on a branch at all if you're
wanting to frequently merge back to trunk -- just work directly on
trunk, update frequently, and only commit when you're ready to "merge".
SVN is not like Git; branches are significant and appear in the history.
