SmartSVN: How to branch-off working copy from trunk

Question

I am using SmartSVN 6.6 on my Mac OS X 10.8. I need to create new branch from working copy in trunk of my iOS project. Can anybody explain steps needed for that?? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A branch in Subversion is nothing more than a copy.

svn cp URL_TO_TRUNK URL_TO_BRANCH
svn switch . URL_TO_BRANCH
