Were the two trees identical?

Either way, if you want to duplicate branch changes on the trunk, you'd
need to tell the merge command to generate a patch by comparing two
trees; the patch should describe just the branch changes.

Assuming that the branch began life as a copy of the trunk, this diff
would be generated by comparing the trunk with the branch, right? That
would produce a patch showing the branch changes. And it looks like
you've got your comparison backwards.

Ah, okay, so they're not identical. You can see the differences.

Are you running this command inside a working copy of the trunk or the
branch?

Either way, show us a transcript of your exact commands and their
output.
