SVN usually manages to merge the changes you have made with the changes from
trunk, unless they have changed that same bit of code you have and then, it
says there is a conflict and lets you look at the differences. I modified
things in the actual Chromium source, not in a new project.

There was a thread about creating branches and they said it is better
handled with GIT, though I have never used GIT and since almost all of my
changes were only adding things\the code nearby the code I changes were not
changed, no conflicts occurred.

If your changes can be incorporated into the code because most of what they
do is removing options, maybe you can even upload your changes to the
Chromium source code (with #IF DEFINE YOUR_CUSTOM_CODE or something). But
you have to ask them first, of course.
