I'm very careful when moving/copying files now. Infact, for copying, I tend
to make a new file and copy the content so the files don't get linked.
I have the feeling I didn't inspect the commit list enough. I did a "select
all" so there could have been a "delete Trunk" entry in there that I
accidentally enabled.
I know my updates included some deletes of folders directly within the
trunk. Could this have been where svn got confused?
