Sorry for the confusion. I had actually checkout revision 1 and made
some changes to see if the new design suited the requirement and then
I realized it became drifted away from the trunk (main design, in
this case) which I thought might be useful. I wasn't expecting such
changes but when I realized it, I would better make a branch.
I already have r1 as my working copy and I have made some changes.
I did what you have suggested and checked out a copy (second work
copy) with branch from r1. Then I copied the files from the previous
work copy (r1) into this second work copy. It works.
Thanks.
