Sounds like you don't really want to branch. Branching is designed to keep
the changes to the trunk and the branches separate and to keep the two as
separate units. From your illustration it seems like you would be OK with
just a regular checkout of the trunk, doing periodic "svn update" commands
to keep your A and B files in sync. Otherwise, I think you would need to do
checkout and merge every time you work on the branch...
Perhaps I'm not understanding the illustration properly...
