I doubt I can show the svn log unfortunately, but this is a pretty large
source tree, and I'm only getting a fraction of that.

I was wrong though - I am actually getting a little bit of stuff from
trunk - just not very much. I was mislead by the fact that "trunk" is
really a bunch of separate directories off the root of our repository,
not a single hierarchy under "trunk" or something - so my oneliner with
a grep was searching for mostly-right but not-quite-right patterns.

Here's some detail that I hope might help people help me:

$ svn log -v http://eng2/svn/Datallegro/branches/v3.0.2-dev | egrep
'^-----------' | wc -l
238
eng-build-da_build:/tmp/rm-me-2/ib_common_ofed_1 x86_64-suse-linux 13279
- above cmd done 2007 Fri Nov 30 05:14 PM

$ svn log -v http://eng2/svn/Datallegro/pageload | egrep '^-----------'
| wc -l
254

...where ".../pageload" is just one small part of trunk. And yes,
3.0.2-dev did come from trunk, though not directly - actually, it came
from a of prerelease, which in turn ultimately came from trunk.

If someone is interested in really pursuing this - I hope but I know I
can't count on that - I could perhaps get permission to share the full
svn log with just a small number of people.

Thanks for people's help so far!
