Subversion: Can I checkout, modify, and then make it a branch?

Question

I did a checkout from my trunk to a local DIR and made lots of local changes there. Now I don\'t want to commit it back to the trunk, but I\'d rather make a branch from this loc

Answer 1

In my SVN client: TortoiseSVN it is enough to:

• right click on the top directory I want to branch
• in "To URL" select the branch directory in your repository
• in the frame "Create copy in the repository from:" select "Working copy"

done :)

It is just like copying local version to specified repository url.
