I'm not sure why it stopped unfortunately as I lost my network
connection during the switch (that may have been the cause of it). The
unversioned files & directories are exactly the same in both branch and
trunk.

At this point in time there should be no difference between the branch
and the trunk as no edits have been made. So I was hoping I could
switch to the branch without moving unversioned files out of the way as
they would be needed in the branch as well. The unversioned files are
mainly auto-generated content and large directories of images (10k+
files) - the working copy is used directly on a development website.

Ah ok, so I should just be able to kick off the switch again and it'll
sort itself out?

Thanks
