Yup, this is the confusion.

By default, 'svn log' does not get log messages for the whole
repository. It gets log messages for those revisions where a change
was made under a certain path -- and if that path happens to be '/',
then that's the same as asking for the logs for all revisions.

But if that path is '/trunk', for example, then the log output won't
show branch changes.

Furthermore, the path is taken from the current directory in your
working copy, if you don't specify some other path (or URL) as an
argument.
