Okay, so then let's talk through this.

What you're saying is that the beginning of the changes *actually*
started in revision 173 of trunk, right? Then trunk@183 was copied to a
branch, where the changes continued.

So what's going on here is that you're producing an incomplete patch.
If you compare branch@183 with branch@HEAD, that doesn't include all the
changes, right? The changes *really* started at trunk@173, then
continued in the branch.

So I speculate that if you have the merge command compare trunk@173 with
branch@HEAD, you'll see the complete set of changes. And those should
apply cleanly to the latest trunk tree.
