Merge problem after changing directory tree structure

From: Derek Mahar <DMahar_at_penson.ca>

How do I merge branch changes to the trunk after I change the directory
structure at a point above the branch and trunk directories? For
example, consider the following directory-tree revision history in which
I rename an ancestor directory:
 
Revision 1:
Initial import
a/branches/
a/trunk
 
Revision 2:
Create branch1 (copy /a/trunk/ to /a/branch1).
a/branches/branch1
a/trunk
 
Revision 3:
Add a/branch1/a.txt.
a/branches/branch1/
a/branches/branch1/a.txt
a/trunk
 
Revision 4:
Rename directory a to b.
b/branches/branch1
b/branches/branch1/a.txt
b/trunk
 
How do I now merge the changes to b/branches/branch1 in revision 3 to
b/trunk so that I get b/trunk/a.txt? If I specify b/branches/branch1 at
revision 3 as the merge source revision, Subversion complains that
b/branches/branch1 does not exist in revision 3. Is there a workaround
to this problem?
 
Thank you,
 
Derek
