Congrats, Russ. You've just discovered why Subversion really needs a
merge-tracking feature. :-)

If Subversion were anything like clearcase, you'd simply say, "hey,
please merge my branch back into trunk", and the system would
automatically know which changes already existed in both branch and
trunk, and skip over them for you.
