How do I compare one branch with another? I want to compare a branch with the latest revision in trunk.

Go to the repository browser (<right click>/TortoiseSVN/Repo-browser/<enter URL>). Open right click menu on branch B, select 'Mark for comparison'. Then open right click menu on branch A, select 'Compare URLs' or 'Show differences as unified diff'.
In order to compare two branches easily, you have to use the “git diff” command and provide the branch names separated by dots. Using this command, Git will compare the tip of both branches (also called the HEAD) and display a “diff” recap that you can use to see modifications.
Just hold down the Shift key while you right click on the file. Then select TortoiseSVN → Diff with URL. In the following dialog, specify the URL in the repository with which you want to compare your local file to.
Right click on the project -> Compare With -> Branch.. > or svn properties. This drives compare view (differential view) unusable.
You could start with:
svn diff http://REPOS/trunk http://REPOS/branches/B (Where http://REPOS is your repository path including the parents of trunk and branches.)
This will print a large quantity of text, including all the textual changes but not the binary changes except to say where and when they occurred.

If you are just looking for high level of what files are different and do not want to see all the contents, use:
svn diff ^/trunk ^/branches/dev --summarize
(This compares trunk and dev branch)
