I'd expect to see to release branch for both, with the one on the right having no revisions (yet) on the release branch. [perhaps my recollection is faulty, I use tksvn to create these graphs and that is what I remember/expected to see]

Most of the files on the release branch look normal (e.g., a revision graph shows both the trunk and release branch as part of the file's history). But for a few files, the revision graph only shows the files on the trunk, not on the release branch. Yet, as far as I can remember, all files were copied from the trunk to the release branch in the same manner (svn merge).

It appears that the files are associated with their parent directory which is versioned on the release branch, but the files themselves are not (on the branch).

You're right .. I didn't answer your question. No, those files have not
been modified in the release branch, and they have not been merged
multiple times into the release branch, therefore, there are no
revisions to those files on the release branch.

Maybe my memory about how tksvn displays such is weak :-(

Call this one closed.
