Switch lists files as updated but file content does not chagne

Hi all;

Please bear with me, I don't know TortoiseSVN in depth...

In our repository we have (among others) a Codebase branch and a Next Release branch. The Codebase branch is the production copy of the code. The Next Release branch is a copy of the Codebase branch with branches for the next version release merged into it. When we are ready to release the next version of our code, I checkout Codebase to my machine, merge Next Release into it, then commit Codebase.

On our web server, we have a Working Local Copy directory that we use to build the code. It was set to the Next Release repository branch so we could build and deploy the Next Release to test. Yesterday I merged Next Release into Codebase. A Check for Modifications listed the expected files. I then committed the changes to Codebase.

When switching the web server Working Local Copy from Next Release to Codebase, the file content should be the same. However, the switch gives a list of files that were updated, that list being the same files that were changed in the commit to Codebase. Switching back to Next Release again lists those files as updated.

However, I checked out fresh copies of both to my local machine and did a WinMerge compare, and the file content for both directories matches.

In the log, the Next Release branch is at revision 6752 and the Codebase branch is at revision 6756. But when switching a directory between those branches, the final message is "Completed At revision: 6756", even when switching from Codebase to Next Release.

When did the merge and committed the changes to Codebase yesterday, I was running TortoiseSVN (client) 1.8.8, and the server was running 1.7-something. Today we updated both to 1.8.11.

I've seen instances of TortoiseSVN picking up a property change and calling a file changed when the content is the same. Is that the kind of thing that's happening here? Why is it "updating" these files when the content is the same? Is it because they're from different revisions? And why am I getting the message "Completed At revision: 6756" when switching from a branch at revision 6756 to a branch at revision 6752?

I'm being asked why files are being shown as updated on a Switch when the files match, and right now I don't have an answer... Thanks for any help...
