RE: Switch deleted my work directory

Let's clarify this. I have a repo called "myProj" with a "trunk" and "branches" folder. Under "trunk" is "sub1" and under "sub1" is "sub2". I have the trunk checked out to "c:\myProj". I go into repo browser and copy trunk\sub1\sub2 to branches\new-sub2. In Windows I right-click on c:\myProj\sub1\sub2 and do Switch to branches\new-sub2. I would expect the dialog to just say "updated" (after a delay) and not to change any files on disk. Instead the dialog said "deleted c:\myProj\sub1\sub2" and deleted all the files in sub2, while leaving sub2 itself on the disk. I then right-click on "sub2" and do "update". The dialog shows "updated" for each file and all the files come back on disk. I then right-click on "sub2" and look at the Switch dialog. I see that sub2 is now pointing to "trunk\sub1\sub2" (not the branch, even though I never switched it back to the trunk).

As a workaround: I go into repo-browser and copy the trunk to branches\new. I right-click on c:\myProj\sub1\sub2 and Switch to "branches\new\sub1\sub2". This acts as expected... it says Updated and doesn't change any files. When I right-click on sub2 and look at the Switch dialog, I see that it is now pointing to "branches\new\sub1\sub2" as expected.
