Ok... here is what I read of your message... tell me if I have it wrong.

1. You copied from /trunk to /branches/bugfix

2. You switched to /branches/bugfix or you checked out that branch.

3. You made a change and committed it to /branches/bugfix.

4. You moved /branches/bugfix to /branches/bugfix-2009-03-27 (Which does a copy then a delete)

5. You then copied from /trunk to /branches/bugfix again.

6. You expect to see the change you made earlier in /branches/bugfix (Step 3). If this is the case you will not see it. That is expected.

You will see the change in /branches/bugfix-2009-03-27 (Make sure you don't have "stop on copy" selected on the bottom of the log dialog.)

Is this the correct scenario or am I missing something?
