Question

I have been using Clear Case, and I started to use Subversion.

Now I’m confused if a branch’s revision number starts from 0
or if it
starts from the trunk’s HEAD revision number.

And another question,
after I commit on Trunk, I’m confused if the latest revision of branch is same as the Trunk’s HEAD revision.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The revision numbers in a Subversion repository are global, i.e. they apply to the whole repository including trunk, tags and branches.

This Section of the book “Version Control with Subversion” might be useful to you:
