CS maintainers tend to use 'svnmerge.py' to handle merging, it's quite easy
to use.

http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py
Download it from this page (the exe on windows, plus you'll need a stand
alone binary install, I use http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download).

I usually keep a clean checkout for merging, so I can work in a 'dirty'
checkout and not worry about having to merge into that.
Plus svnmerge insists on working in a clean checkout.

To get svnmerge working do this;

In your clean checkout run (only do this once);
svnmerge(.exe) init
svn ci -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt

Then to see what's available to merge do;
svnmerge(.exe) avail -S trunk

This will give you a list of all revisions you can merge into your branch.
So if it gives you; 34567-34574,34575-34578

You'd do the following to merge to your branch;
svnmerge(.exe) merge -S trunk -r 34567-34574,34575-34578
svn ci -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt

I hope that helps.
