How did you create your branch, specifically?

If you did a "branch/tag" on your working copy root directory, or if
you copied the trunk directory in the repo browser to a branches
directory, then I would not expect to see any tree conflicts or
"added" files.

But if you created the branch piecemeal by copying individual files,
in SVN or in the Windows explorer, then I would expect to see a slew
of "added" files and tree conflicts.
