Adding files on branch off a branch

Hi All,

If I create a new file on a branch of a branch, it creates a 3-digit branch
(ie 1.1.2), and not 5 digit ones like all the other files which were already
on the first branch and were then subsequently modified.

I think this is because the simple handling of newly created files just adds
a deleted revision 1.1 and then resurrects it on the branch.

My question is, when I then merge back onto my first-level branch, it will
try to resurrect the 1.1 file from the trunk, won't it? But that revision
number will already have been taken by the branch of the branch. So either
it will have to give it an unrelated number, which breaks the idea that
1.1.2.4.5.6 is always a descendent of 1.1.2.4, or it will clash on the
revision number of the existing branch and crash.

Am I on track here?

TIA,

Matthew Herrmann
