Wow ... are you tracking git changes, and importing those into your svn
repo? I fear you have made a real rod for your back if not.

I'm not sure there is an easier way ... if you had been using git you
could checkout the rel_3_0 branch in git, and merge your local branch
into it, and run the upgrader.

But as you have a pretty non standard Koha installation, I suspect yes,
you are going to have to do a lot of work manually merging files, I
strongly recommend if you are going to do local changes, that in future
you do a dev install, which runs out of your git checkout and track your
changes that way. It will make your life a million times easier when you
want to upgrade to 3.2.0
