SVN Client branching

[Crispness]

Hi
Is it possible to create a branch using the SVN client?
TIA

Hi,

Yes. This is a base operation for SVN and any SVN client should provide a way to create branches and tags. At the base, a branch (or a tag) is nothing else than a "cheap" copy of a versioned item (file or directory) and it is created by the "svn copy" command.
In Syncro SVN Client, you can create a branch (or a tag) by the following ways:

1. From the Repositories view, select the directory for which you want to create a new branch and use the "Branch/Tag" operation either from the contextual menu, or from the Tools menu. After, to use the branch, either you check out a new working copy from it, or you switch an existing working copy to the new branch.
2. If you want to create a new branch for a project you are working on and you already have a set of uncommitted changes in your working copy, select the working copy root directory and use Tools > Branch/Tag. This way, you'll also have the option to create the branch/tag directly from the working copy, with the current content (the new branch will also contain the uncommitted changes to the versioned items). It also works for a sub-directory of the working copy.

After, to work on the new branch, either you check out a new working copy from it, or you switch an existing working copy (checked out from the same SVN repository) to the new branch (see Tools > Switch).
