A branch is created when a part of the project moves a different
direction, or so I understand. For example, you create a version that
supports something the original version doesn't (or vice versa).

You probably call what I call a tag, a branch (IIRC, in subversion they
are the same thing, it's just the name of the directory). A tag is just
a named version of the trunk. I create a tag when the version in the
trunk is "done" at that moment, e.g. I have released it to my customer,
the customer has reviewed it, and is using it. The tag is just an easy
way to find back a moment in time, ie. the state of the trunk when
released to the customer the first time etc.

For me, the trunk

I create a tag, if I understand you correctly.

Just my understanding of things,
