What may be missing here is the reference to the originator branch (could be the trunk), from where the branch got created. Requiring that the file exists both in the current branch and the originator branch (that is, really getting only the files that have been "branched") would automatically exclude the trunk -- there's no originator branch ever on the trunk. When you want to update to the branch start, most often you don't want to update to the first revision on the branch, but to the revision on the originator branch that was used to create the branch. (Like when you want to create another branch from the same point.) Gerhard
