The way you describe it, it sounds to me like it should have worked
the way you expected. The fact that it didn't means that we're
missing some detail. It would be easier to diagnose the unexpected
behavior if you would transcribe exactly what Subversion commands you
type in, including all necessary commands to create the current state
of the relevant sections of your repository (or provide a copy of
your repository). Without this, I don't think we're going to be able
to explain it properly.
