This is exactly what you didn't have done.
The file has been added on the branch (or in this case on the trunk).
This is indicated by the "+" sign after "A" and merged it into the
working copy.

I would say no, cause the file in this particular case has an ancestry
(comming from the trunk; merged or in other words copied) in this
particular case.

You will get the same result if you only copy a file in the WC (svn cp
file3.txt fileC.txt; Diff will print out nothing,
but svn status will print out:
A + fileC.txt

So this means there is no difference between the copied file and the
original. And a merged file is (not really) more than a copied file.

My first thought was i expected it too...but i tested it with SVN 1.4.2
and get exactly the same result....and then i thought a little bit about
and came to the result i would say yes you are wrong...

Kind regards
