This is expected behavior. When you branch a tree, you make a copy of
it. After that, changes to the original tree do not affect the copy.

Subversion does not implement so-called "shadow branches" or "alias
branches", whereby some of the files track their originals, and others
stay on the branch (or track both changes in the original *and*
changes in the branch... this can get quite complex!).
