Here's another one asking the same question. I can usually get this right
if I use TortoiseSVN and really act dumb about it (TortoiseSVN > Branch/tag
usually does the Right Thing unless I have already created the branch).
But when I go about trying to deliberately make a branch, I usually mess it
up in the way Rob describes. I've not been able to really understand the
way SVN wants me to do this. And I would appreciate a pointer to somewhere
where a good explanation can be found.
Rob, does a question stop being dumb when two people ask it? Let's hope so,
shall we?
