While developing bigger projects , the branch feature of svn is quite helpful. Although now it seems quite easy but it took me some time to figure out the exact details.
So, to create a branch first the project should be setup like::
"project name"
|---- trunk
|---- tags
|---- branches
the folder "trunk" is the mainstream of the project. If you want to create a new branch or new tags.
- Update your project (Team->update)
- Create a branch/tag (Team->Branch/tag). Make a new subdirectory in the branches directory if you want a branch or in the tags directory.
- Now, switch your working copy to this folder.
- Your branches/tags have been create and you can switch between them whenever you want using (Team->switch to another branch/tag)
