Closed Leaf
A closed leaf is any leaf with the closed tag. These leaves are
intended to never be extended with descendants and hence are omitted
from lists of leaves in the command-line and web interface.
==
The docs appear quite clear that the behavior OP complains about is
intentional: regardless of whether the new check-in goes to a
different branch, the new check-in is a direct descendant of the closed
leaf. Probably the OP should just re-open the leaf and commit against
it.
