One thing about subversion branches (from "Key Concepts Behind Branches" in chapter 4 of the subversion book):
"2. Subversion has no internal concept of a branchâonly copies. When you copy a directory, the resulting directory is only a "branch" because you attach that meaning to it. You may think of the directory differently, or treat it differently, but to Subversion it's just an ordinary directory that happens to have been created by copying."
