Ah, I see what you are getting at now. You apply a patch to trunk, copy
it to a branch and then revert your WC to clean trunk again. I am not
completely convinced of the usefulness of this. On the new branch you
can see trunk with the patch applied, but it is not so easy to get a
visual diff. For TSVN users, just posting the patch should be good
enough because anyone can use TMerge to see what it looks like on their
own WC.

To be more useful you would need to copy clean trunk to the new branch,
switch to the branch, apply the patch and commit, then switch back
again. That way the new branch shows the before and after states of the
patch. Or am I missing something about the way copy WC to branch works?
