I'm in Ubuntu and yes, the current directory is
.../sandbox.../trunk

OK, so what are the steps, really. I find the RedBean on this terrible.

first: make a branch

 svn copy https://www.pfarrell.com/repos/bbook/trunk \
           https://www.pfarrell.com/repos/bbook/branches/pat \
      -m "Creating a private branch of trunk for pat."

 Second, make changes to branch and commit

Third, do something, your "merge"
I'm not seeing this, if the trunk is fixed, why do some sort of merge of
trunk into branch?

Forth: reintegrate
svn merge --reintegrate https://www.pfarrell.com/repos/bbook/branches/pat
