In Subversion, "merge using" means "calculate the diff between two
things, and apply it to a third thing".
For example, merging revs 1:10 from the trunk into the branch means
finding the diff between revs 1 and 10 on the trunk, and using that diff
to patch the branch.
So the answer to your question is yes. You'll just need to be careful to
choose the right names for the things. You may run into problems if
your diff crosses the revision that performed the renaming, because
you'll probably end up renaming your branch if you apply that patch.
