RE: Merging branch into trunk

Ah, you must NOT have created tags when you branched. If done
correctly, you should've

- Created a tag on the branch to signify when you branched
> svn cp //repos/project/branches/SC999
//repos/project/tags/SC999-trunk
- Do development on the branch, so now there's a delta between branch
  and trunk code
- Commit changes to branch
- Merge delta into trunk
> cd /trunk_workspace
> svn merge //repos/project/tags/SC999-trunk
//repos/project/branches/SC999
> (resolve conflicts)
> svn commit

What you can do is make a new branch, tag the branch as above, then
"manually" copy the files from your "other branch workspace" into this
new branch workspace, commit, then merge.

You also need to tag the trunk so you can merge trunk deltas into
your branch
> svn cp //repos/project/trunk //repos/project/tags/trunk-branchname
