Maybe I should clarify:
My project structure is like this: myproject +--module1 +--module2 +--nonmodule1 so the SVN path is something like http://svnserver/myproject/trunk. I happen to be working on a branch now, so i checked out from http://svnserver/myproject/branches/branch1. How would I go about releasing nonmodule1 off my branch?
