Well, you don't need to specify full URL, there are well known shortcuts: svn copy ^/myproject/trunk ^/myproject/branches/featureXXX \ -m "Create feature branch XXX" Nothing too complicated and perfectly reasonable. Git makes sense for people who don't have stable Internet connectivity and they want to be committing locally all day. But then Git is not perfect and has some annoying issues - insane command syntax, convoluted support for binary files, no exclusive file locks, losing history under certain conditions, etc. Have a look at https://svnvsgit.com
