Your understanding is wrong. There need be no connection whatsoever
between those two files. You can look at the logs for each of them to
see where they came from and what was done to them; the only reason to
expect those files to be identical would be:

  - one is a copy of the other, or both are copies from the same source
  - no changes were made to either one between the time of the copying
and rev 12750.

If trunk and branch always needed to be identical, what would be the
purpose of them??
