The lack of atomic changes to the trunk and to branches makes it very difficult to capture a point in time when everything is passing.
Exactly - that's the problem.
That is solved by SVN.
I wouldn't bet on it (well capturing the instant is how SVN works), but it's irrelevant anyhow. if you only "release" what on HEAD it doesn't matter than you cannot synch w/ branches. I've been saying for a little over a decade that dropping the "state" from CVS was a mistake and this hammers it home more than anything I've seen...but it's gone. One trusts that the Subversion folks weren't as blind.
