Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, my problem is that it's still transferring the entire files
over the wire when I merge back into the trunk.

If I use TortoiseSVN it tells me that it transferred 116.46MB, (I don't
know if theres a way to tell the svn to output the total amount of data
transferred, but it takes about the same length of time) but all the
files together add up to 30.1MB, and no files were changed.

All these files were merged into the branch at some point between the
last time the branch was merged back into the trunk and this time. The
results of the merge are still exactly as expected, but it takes far
longer than it should to simply merge some source code elsewhere in the
tree back into the trunk.
