taking a snapshot with me

Greetings,

I've been playing with Mercurial recently, and I like how I can take a
snapshot of the code with me and branch against it, for offline work. I've
been told that this is recently possible with SVN as well. Could someone point
me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Mike
