Branching

Hello!

I've got a few questions about methodically using of branches: At the moment I am maintaining a project which has a development-tree called trunk. The mainpart is a directory containing a huge amount of scripts.

Because these script should run on different platforms - and for that need some specific changes per platform - I built four branches: One branch for each platform.

If I add or delete a file in my trunk, this file would NOT appear/disappear in all my branches. Do I have to copy/delete it manually, i.e. svn cp http://svn/project/trunk/script3 http://svn/project/branch1/script3?

My second issue is a future branch which would be very close to one of my existing branches (and more far away from the trunk). Does it make sense to make a branch of a branch? Or better use the trunk as the source and do much changes to the future branch? I guess a branch from a branch would make more sense - but I don't want to run into trouble if this is the wrong way...

Thanks for help!
