This syntax did the trick: svn merge -r661:177 --dry-run https://XXX/trunk/directory_path
In preview mode, SVN showed me the files it was going to update. That list matched the files we knew had been modified erroneously. There weren't any changes to that particular directory contents since r177. I re-ran it without the dry run, then ran diff after the update. We are set. Thank you.
