I am not a TortiseSVN user. You may want to read through the online
book and see if it gets the concepts across and then you can apply it
to the TortiseSVN GUI.

Between 40 and 41 is one change on the main trunk. With the command
line client I would do the following.

  svn diff -r40:41 $URL/trunk | less

Verify that is what I want and then merge it in.

  svn merge -r40:41 $URL/trunk .

Then verify that it created the differences that I wanted.

  svn diff | less
