Yes, that's how it's supposed to work. A file can have multiple lines
of development.
/branches/mybranch/foo.c is a different object from /trunk/foo.c. They
may have been the same object at an earlier time, but then the object
"forked" into two lines of development.
'svn log' shows the history of the object you're asking about: that
means showing things that happened to the object by walking backwards in
time along its line of development, eventually showing changes that
happened before the line was 'forked'.

svn has no 'history' command... nor 'history' log in the repository.
There's no way to have svn show you every change to every copy/fork of a
file. That's because when a file is copied, the copy is a new object
with only a shared past.
