Actually I think you would do something like:

1: Manually copy over all the changes from the current v0.9.4 branch to the trunk and commit the truck, making revision 1088. (the rev numbers aren't all that relevant. I think you don't have a firm understanding of them since you say branch is x and trunk is y)

2: Do a merge NOW from the branch to the trunk using the --record-only option. Do not select and revs let subversion determine which ones are eligible.

Once you've done that you have basically manually made sure any branch changes exist in trunk then record that fact.

There is an "Only record the merge" check box on the TSVN merge wizard. Make sure you have that checked.
