OK, so what you did was:

 - merge trunk to branch (instead of the other way around)
 - realise your error
 - move trunk out of the way
 - move branch to trunk

That's really bad, it loses all the revision history on trunk since you split 
off the branch (I don't mean the changes themselves, I mean the metadata).

Let me get this straight so we can fix it:

 - revision 7673 was the initial creation of the branch
 - revision 7950 was the erroneous merge from trunk to branch: was the entire 
merge committed in this single revision or do we need to know about any 
others?
 - revision 7951 was moving the trunk out of the way
 - revision 7952 was moving branch to trunk

Right?

So we need to:

 - delete (or rename again) the new trunk
 - move the moved-out-of-the-way trunk back to trunk
 - merge revisions 7673:7949 of branch to trunk

Yes?  I don't mind doing this (and testing it builds) myself, but it has to be 
done.

FWIW I didn't test the branch at all prior to the merge, I wasn't aware it was 
in a testable state.  It might have been wise to get some testing.
