Was it a merge?
The commit added trunk as a copy of a branch.
I assume trunk must have been previously deleted or renamed, but I did
not have time to scan back to find out what happened.

[Later]

I have now found the rename sequence:

$ svn log -v -l 2 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/proxy@1579340
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1579340 | mbenson | 2014-03-19 18:30:46 +0000 (Wed, 19 Mar 2014) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   D /commons/proper/proxy/branches/version-2.0-work
   A /commons/proper/proxy/trunk (from
/commons/proper/proxy/branches/version-2.0-work:1579339)

make 2.0 branch into trunk
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r1579339 | mbenson | 2014-03-19 18:30:09 +0000 (Wed, 19 Mar 2014) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   A /commons/proper/proxy/branches/1.x (from
/commons/proper/proxy/trunk:1579338)
   D /commons/proper/proxy/trunk

move proxy trunk to 1.x branch
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could not find it before because it does not appear in the history
for /trunk, AFAICT.

> Sebb: do you have a suggestion how to get this right?

AFAIK the flip of trunk and branch *has* to be done as two unrelated
SVN commits.

This is a relatively unusual SVN occurrence so IMO it's worth being
more explicit in the commit log messages so each can be understood on
its own.

Yes, it's possible to find this out by using SVN log, but it would
certainly have made it easier for me to understand the r1579340 commit
message if the log had mentioned that trunk was renamed to 1.x branch
in r1579339.
It would also have been useful to note why trunk was being renamed in
the r1579339 log message.

==

Given what I have now found out - i.e. trunk files are now in the 1.x
branch - then if the branch is missing any further files (e.g.
license-header.txt is in old trunk but not new trunk) then these files
can be recovered (as was done for the doap).

So I withdraw my -1.
