...OK, apparently got it working, though I'm still not sure what
happened - I tried doing a Branch/tag to a different directory this
time, and didn't get any resistance.
Previously, what I did was attempt to use Branch/tag to create a copy
of my local code in a new directory within the repository, as
described in the tutorial I linked. I used the 'To URL' on the Branch/
tag dialog to set the target directory - which looked like '[site url
+ project repository directory]/branches/newbranch', and told it to
create the branch from my local working copy. It errored out, telling
me that the aforementioned 'To URL' path could not be found. I tried
creating the directories in the repository browser, and repeated the
prior Branch/tag process; this time, it errored out, saying that the
'To URL' path already existed. Finally, I tried a new path - just
'.../branch,' without creating it in the browser - and it worked fine.
Will see if I can reproduce this at some point - might be a bug, or
just something obvious that I forgot to do.
