log messages not propagating?

Hi all, first time poster, long time user :)

Im posting to this list because Im not sure if my 'problem' lies in
subversion or somewhere between my seat and my keyboard.

When merging to 'trunk' and committing, I have found that the log entry
is only on the changed objects, not on the directories in the path of
those objects.

I thought that previously 'svn log trunk' would show me all the commits
to trunk. However I recently committed changes to trunk, and then was
surprised to find 'svn log trunk' didnt show the recent commit, but if I
did 'svn log trunk/blah/something' it showed up. 

Is this the correct behaviour?

btw, Im using :

svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)
   compiled Mar 28 2007, 22:48:32

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Thanks Blair, absolutely on the money.

Not the behaviour I expected intuitively, but it makes sense to me now.

Thanks

It appears that the commits didn't change anything on the trunk directory 
itself, so it will remain at the same revision.  So svn log will use the 
revision on the directory, which are not the latest revision.  You have a mixed 
revision working copy.

So if you svn update, then you'll see the commits.

Regards,
Blair
