If you are sure that you have merge the trunk to the branch yet, you can merge the diff between the HEAD of trunk and the HEAD of branch (Thus you should not encounter any conflict).

It's the case "Merge Two Different Trees" quite well explained in the TortoiseSVN documentation: <http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-merge.html#tsvn-dug-merge-2>
