At *revision* 9, you copied trunk to a new branch. Hopefully, that's
all you did in revision 9 -- that is, hopefully you didn't copy trunk
to a branch *and* make changes in the branch in revision 9.

Now you've made changes in the branch and let's assume the HEAD of
the repository is now 20 and you want to merge the branch back into
the trunk. Get a working copy of trunk, and merge revisions 9 thru 20
of the branch to the trunk, like this:

svn merge -r 9:20 url://to/your/branch

Resolve any conflicts, test to make sure everything works, then you
can commit the change:

svn ci -m "Merging r9:20 of my branch into trunk"
