I did this for the FreeBSD repo, where one or two branches were moved to some other level. I can't get to the rule file right now, but you need to figure out the revisions when the layout changed.

Then use something like this (from the top of my head, most likely buggy)

match /
  min-revision 1
  max-revision 100
  branch master
end

match /trunk
  min-revision 101
  branch master
end

... you get the drift. Ask again if something is unclear, next time I get to my rules files I can give you a better example.
