No, it did not. 9942 was the revision that saw the creation of the branch.
There were several more commits on trunk, one commit to the branch, and then
several more to trunk before I attempted the merge.

The one thing that might be different is our repository layout has the form

/projectA
   /trunk
   /branches
     /user1
      /branchX
      ...
     /user2
      /branchY
      ...
/projectB
   /trunk
   /branches
     /user1
      /branchZ
       ...
...

In other words, we inverted "trunk/tags/branches" and projects in the
filesystem hierarchy. But I don't really see how that would affect anything,
they're all just paths.
