I created a branch in subversion by copying the trunk directory. But now when I commit changes to the branch I get this warning message: “Your working copy points to … which appears to be a tag! You should first switch to a branch or the main trunk before committing.”

If I just ignore the error message and save to the target directory, the change appears to take but what is up with the warning message?

Thank you,

Elliott

    Guess: you are using TortoiseSVN and your working copy SVN URL contains the string tags.
