SVN revision numbers can be confusing.  Each change to the code 
repository has a revision number assigned to it when the checkin for 
that change happens.  If two given changes to the code repository have 
numbers N and M, respectively, and N > M, all you can deduce from that 
is that the checkin for N was done after the checkin for M.

A branch, in Subversion, is a copy of everything in the code base. 
(It's implemented, as I understand it, with copy-on-write, so it doesn't 
make a physical copy of the files.)  The copy is part of the same 
repository as the main line ("trunk"), so, for example, if you check a 
change into the trunk at one point and into a branch after that, the SVN 
revision number for the change on the branch will be greater than the 
SVN revision number for the change on the trunk, *even if the branch was 
created before either of the two changes*.

A branch is part of the *same* code repository as the trunk, so there's 
a single sequence of SVN revision numbers for changes to the trunk and 
all branches:

        http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#globalrev

This means that a branch is a change to the repository, as it adds a 
subtree that's a copy of the subtree from which you branched.  The 
branch itself thus gets an SVN revision number.

This all means that, for example, if you:

        branch off a "wireshark-0.9.7" branch;

        check a change into the trunk;

        check another change into the trunk;

        propagate the first of those two changes to the "wireshark-0.9.7" 
branch;

then the top of the "wireshark-0.9.7" branch will have a higher SVN 
revision number than the top of the trunk does, *even though the trunk 
has changes in it that the branch doesn't*.

See

        http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.html

for the full gory details.

The branch that created the "trunk-0.99.7" branch had an SVN revision 
number of 23524:

        
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py/trunk-0.99.7/epan/dissectors/packet-mp2t.c?view=log&pathrev=23524

The only other change to the MPEG2TS dissector for 0.99.7 was an 
ex-post-facto copy of the "trunk-0.99.7" branch to 
"releases/wireshark-0.99.7":
        
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py/releases/wireshark-0.99.7/epan/dissectors/packet-mp2t.c?view=log

The change that added support for MPEG2TS-over-UDP was checked into the 
trunk with an SVN revision number of 23743:

        
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/viewvc.py/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-mp2t.c?view=log

which happened *after* the "trunk-0.99.7" branch was created, and that 
change was not propagated to that branch, so it's not on that branch.
