Thanks, Willem, that is most helpful.
My SVN Windows context menu has 'switch' on it, so it seems that the
steps you are suggesting in GUI form are:
1. Checkout the trunk
2. Copy the trunk to a new directory named with the name of the branch
I want (target)
3. Use switch on this new directory against the SVN branch for target
in question.
If this is correct I will try it out as it might well solve my problem
of keeping all branches without heavy download costs.
All I then need is to know that a new branch has been created.
