"svn copy" will preserve history.

A merge requires two passes. One to merge the directory (add/remove
file objects,) and a second to merge the actual contents of the files in
the directory.
You can add files by merging sub-directories.
- svn co svn://.../.../regular_code_base/a/b/c/db_scripts
- cd db_scripts
- svn merge -r X:Y svn://.../.../customerAlpha/sql_scripts
