That is the intended behavior. You have to select the revision range which
includes all the changes. See my comments on the example below.

In this case the branch was created from trunk, so this worked because there was
nothing different in rev 5. But if you create a branch from your WC you have to
choose rev 4 because SVN diffs the too revisions and just applies the changes.
