This is probably a stupid question, but I haven’t done this before in Svn.

This is probably a stupid question, but I haven’t done this before in Svn.

I have a working copy of trunk on which I’ve been doing some heavy refactoring. The trunk itself has moved on quite a bit in the meantime, and I’m not ready to merge yet. I want to shelve my current changes to a new branch that doesn’t yet exist.

What is the correct procedure here? Thanks

    Find the revision of your working copy is based on:

    svn info .
    

    Copy that revision of trunk to a branch on the server with

    svn copy svn://yourrepo/trunk svn://yourrepo/branches/a -r [revision]
    

    and then switch your WC to the branch

    svn switch svn://yourrepo/branches/a
    

    Then you can commit your current changes to the branch.
