You're confused about terminology.
A revision of the repository represents a point in time. At revision
4, it looked one way, and at revision 5, it looked a slightly
different way. Revisions are permanent and never get changed again.
In revision 4, you made a change to a file in a directory Bug_Fixes
in the directory Branches. I assume what you want to do is to make
that same change to the same file in the directory Trunk.
In that case, get a working copy of Trunk, go into it, and merge the
change into the working copy:
cd /path/to/working/copy/of/Trunk
svn merge -r3:4 svn://myserver/Development/Test_Project/Branches/
Bug_Fixes
This means "Make a recipe that transforms revision 3 of the Bug_Fixes
branch into revision 4, and apply that recipe to the working copy I'm
in right now."
Now you resolve any conflicts that might have occurred, test the
change to make sure it works, then you commit the working copy,
stating in your commit message that you merged revision 4 of the
Bug_Fixes branch into the trunk.
