What have I do to create a "folder" into an SVN branch using Eclipse plugin?

I am not so into SVN and I have the following doubt.

In my repository I have the following strucutre:

enter image description here

As you can see I have 2 branches: features and rleases.

Into the releases branch there are 2 "folder" (or maybe are branches in turn).

I need to create a new "folder" into the releases branch named 4.0.0-beta-fix.

So I select the releases branch, right click with the mouse an select the New voice.

But now the SVN Eclipse plugin give me 2 different possible options:

  • Folder
  • Branch

These:

So what have I to chose to replicate the releases inner structure and create a new container that have to contains a new version of my sofware?

What is the difference between create a branch and a folder in this specific case?

Solution

  • Branch creates a copy of some other folder. This is what you want to do when creating a new release: you create a copy of a folder in a specific revision.

    Creating a folder would just create a new empty folder in the repository.
