You're right. I would also expect every change to end up on the
branch, not the trunk.
Could it be that some parts of your working copy did not get
switched, and were instead still pointing to the trunk? The way to
determine if that is the case is to run "svn status". If anything
shows up with the status "S", that means it is Switched to a
different location than the root of the working copy.
