Simply checkout the trunk as your working copy (i.e. include the trunk
folder in your TSVN Checkout) - then when you want to switch between trunk
and branch you can right click and switch and also merge etc.

Thanks for clarifying that the cheap copying only happens on the repository.

That's the bit I was missing.
There is no cheap copying on the client side? But I still don't want /trunk

AND /branch on my local copy.

I did not check out the branches folder though. I created it on the server,

and I did an update on the client, not a checkout.
How do I get only one working copy, and switch between trunk and branch?

No, not really. The artists and musicians use the top level /art and /audio

folders, and they contain
everything required for both versions of the project. I take what I need
for the full version, pull it out
of the original psd files and save in the format required by the program,
and save it into subfolders
of /trunk. So the original versions have change control through SVN, and
the final versions have that
as well as being kept with the code, and able to be branched.

Thanks for the feedback.
