Re: Branching with missing revisions

Ok, I'll clarify what happened.

Repository is trunk at rev 205. I rename a directory. That's rev 206. I
move a few files, copy a file, and modify the copy. That's rev 207. I
make another miscellaneous change. That's rev 208. So now most of my
repo is 205 (which is still up to date as that's at least the last
committed rev), and part of it is between 206 and 208. I modify 2
files, then realize it should be in a new branch instead. I do `svn
copy . <url>/branches/resizable`. I then do `svn switch
<url>/branches/resizable` and I see a bunch of adds/deletes/mods happen
- i.e. it was essentially reverting my changes back to rev 205. The
only difference is the local changes I had in my WC are present in the
branch. This makes me think that subversion created a transaction on
the server which contained all of revision 205, then applied my local
uncommitted changes to this, then saved that txn into the branch.

I will attempt to reproduce this.
