You don't have to checkout (as you already have it), but others do need
to checkout.

Based on the above technique, there's no reason to "switch" because
you're whole project (branches and all) is in your local workspace.

I guess because I use Tortoise so frequently, I actually forgot how it
is done from the command line. Another approach, that I think has some
advantages is to create the repository structure in a folder (project,
trunk, branch, tags), put your mainline (initial) project code in the
trunk folder, and do an svn import. Next, somewhere else on your HD,
create "Projects/MyProject" and checkout the trunk there.

I like this method because I prefer to grab "trunk" as my working copy,
and "svn switch" as necessary into the workspace rather than mirror the
repository locally, which is what happens with Micah's suggestion.
