Yes, you will have double data. From the repository's point of view,
there is no difference between these two things. At least, not in terms
of storage or database structure.

* copy /trunk to /branch
* edit /trunk/file, commit
* merge /trunk/file change to /branch/file, commit.

OR

* copy /trunk to /branch
* edit /trunk/file, commit
* edit /branch/file in the same way, commit.
