It is a good question. But the answer is that even in a branch what
the developer has checked in is still checked into the subversion
repository and is still stored in the back end. Using a branch will
not prevent license violations from occurring and will not prevent the
back end store from running out of disk space for everybody because a
(bad) developer committed things that they should not have committed.
The subversion repository still has everything in it. It is just less
visible.
To make an analogy, this would be like renaming files so that they are
"hidden files" and not shown in a typical directory listing. You
won't see them in typical use after that but the files will still be
there just the same.
