You've left out all the details of (1) how you made the branch, (2) how
you actually did the merge (what exact command did you run to do the
merge?) Without this information, it's hard to figure out what went
wrong. And I don't have the patience to look at your various log
outputs and try to guess what happened, or how to clean up the mess.
If I were you, I would undo the commit of the merge, so your trunk
returns back to its pristine pre-merge state.
Then, show us an exact transcript of your merge command, and the output
that results.
