I have svn repo with branches, tags and trunk
Now when i create new branch,
Is it must to use svn switch to that branch?
Should i Not work on that branch directory directly?
Sorry if it sounds stupid.

There might be times when you have huge codebase located in multiple branches of a release.

If a developer wants to work with X.1 Branch now, he has two options:
This was one of the scenario … What happens when you relocate your repository? The whole URL changes. Switching is intelligent rather checkout.
