Thanks for your response, Srilakshman!
I understand what you are saying here, but my problem is that I have all my
files in https://.../Project/branch/test and I don't have any thing in my
https://.../Project/trunk. ( I didn't wanted to start from trunk, but rather
wanted to have stable code in branch first , then add to trunk and then
branch it out accordingly, and now I am little worried )
I want to put the files from https://../Project/branch/test in my
https://...Project/trunk as https://...Project/trunk/test
This will be the stable code to start from. and I want to create new
branches like https://.../Project/branch/test1
/test2
So do i do svn copy from https://../Project/branch/test to
https://../Project/trunk/test to accomplish that ?
What will happen in future if I still keep the /branch/test ( the place
where i copied the main stable code to the trunk, will i run into any
problem)? I know subversion makes lazy copy so what happens if I do svn
delete to the original branch from where I copied to my trunk? will by code
be corrupted ?
I could not get those answers in forums or even in book.
I will really appreciate any help or information.
Thanks,
