That implies that your description is the best or maybe even only
solution to your problem, what may be the case, but maybe more easier
things would work, too. We don't know, what we know is that there are
different possibilities to achieve your goal.

This reads slightly different than how I understood your question in
the first way, I thought branch A is a replication of trunk, too. From
what it sounds like now I would try to version only those things in
branch A which a really needed because they are different than your
trunk-based test setup and use svn:externals to always pull in the
most recet code changes from trunk into a working copy to test based
on that. This will assure your to alwaays test with the latest changes
from trunk, while minimizing the need to merge something around, but
keeping you able to commit changes on branch A-specific libs,
configuration or whatever.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
