I used to work with CVS where it was no problem to compare HEAD to any branch, branch to branch or branch to HEAD. Now on SVN I have some changes on trunk I need to put on a branch, but can't seem to find an option to compare given branch to trunk.

Is it possible to have a branch project in workspace and compare it to trunk?

right-click on the project and choose Compare With, Branch/Tag (this is with subclipse)

What version of the svn client are you using? When I open the Compare With dialog on a project checked out from branch it lets me enter any URL (including trunk) and any revision to compare it to.
