svnmucc is your friend. You can do this operation in a single step.

something like

CMD> svnmucc -U svn://myserver/myrepo -m "Replacing the vendor1 branch
with trunk" rm /projectX/branches/vendor1 cp HEAD /projectX/trunk
/projectX/branches/vendor1

Or something like that... Test it/check the docs, I'm not certain of
that commandlines correctness.

You'll need a binaries bundle with svnmucc built, or build it
yourself. On Windows I use SlikSvn.
