Yes -- beginning with first creating the branch from the trunk
revision. And depending on whether the developers have been editing
the same parts of files, there may be some conflicts to resolve, but
that would be no different than if they were committing to trunk.

I'm not familiar with Netbeans, but yes, that message does give one
pause. You might want to ask the developers of Netbeans what they
mean by it, and whether their software is just using "svn switch",
which does not lose local modifications, or something else that does.
