RE: Is a heirarchy of braches possible ?

Excellent. I had missed the 'svn mkdir' command.

Many thanks.

It's expected. 'svn cp URL1 URL2' doesn't magically create
intermediate directories.

So your choice is either

    * issue a bunch of 'svn mkdir URL' commands, to build the
structures, or

    * checkout a working copy of the branches/ dir, create the
structure, then 'svn commit' all at once.
