Rectifying a foobar split/merger

I have foobared the branch and cannot merge it anymore. The main trunk is
the next release; the branch (v0.9.4) is the current code in which I am
fixing bugs and releasing point releases, like v0.9.4.1, v0.9.4.2, etc. I
believe where I made mistake here:

When I release code, I tag the v0.9.4 branch to the specific version. Then
when I did a few of the merges, I merged the tag, not the v0.9.4 branch.

Now the new things I have had to add, say in tag v0.9.4.3 I added a file,
now it always comes up with a conflict. I am assuming that is because now
that I am at tag v0.9.4.7, subversion isn’t able to figure out the
connection between the two tags. On the other hand, it is my theory that if
I had simply always merged in the branch, there wouldn’t be an issue.

Things have gotten worse now that I have added a new folder. Is there some
way to reconcile this?
