I think this is a consequence of the way subversion works. A subversion checkout of part of the repo (eg trunk/) has two revision numbers associated with it - the "current revision" number for the item (directory, file, whatever), and the "last changed" revision number. You can see these by using "svn info <dir>". The "revision number" for the repo advances whenever anything is checked in to any part of the repository.
