That's really sad. In this case I know that the code is in trunk, but 
what happens if I don't know from where it was branched? For example if 
I develop in a branch, copy it to trunk which is later branched.
And in this case when I want to go back to the current version I have to 
switch it again to the right branch, isn't it so?
