Svn: copy branch to trunk

Question

I have an SVN project with a branch I'm working on, and an empty chest:

myproject/
  branches/
    mybranch/
      {there stuff here}
  tags/
  trunk/

How can I copy the contents of mybranch into the trunk? TortoiseSVN complains that a trunk directory already exists. I can remove the (empty) connector line from the repository and then make a copy, but it seems wrong somehow ...

---

Explanation: I have a torso that I intentionally left empty. My "mybranch" is all registered. In the repo browser, TortoiseSVN gives me a copy option, but not a merge option.

If merging is the right thing, what should I do? Do I end up an empty pool, and then merge into this working copy, and then go in?

• An existing trunk is renamed to trunk_temp. you can also create a branch.
• tag is copied to trunk
• remove trunk_temp if you created a branch.
