Yes, I had that sort of problem too. I posted a message on that subject 
a few days after you posted yours...

But I'm using 2.5.01.1976.

I can do that in my working copy too. The problem lies with files that 
were added directly into the branch and does not exist in trunk.

Can you describe the procedure you followed to build the Working Copy 
you mentioned? (I used to merge branch_1 to the sandbox, update modified 
files to branch_1, then merge branch_2 to sandbox, update modified files 
to branch_2 and so on... But this does not work for files that exist 
only in the branch)
