Subversion Branching
by Frank Kim on Dec.18, 2007, under Subversion
Subversion branching and tagging is basically copying from one repository directory to another.
This article gives great instructions on how to branch and tag with subversion. This article is also good.
To compare branches you can simply do something like this svn diff [path] [path]. For example svn diff http://foo.com/branches/stable http://foo.com/trunk.
To merge from a branch to the trunk you can use svn merge like this. Note that you need to have the trunk checked
$ cd trunk
$ svn merge -r 3:4 svn+ssh://fkim@betweengo.com/home/fkim/svn/foo/branches/stable/doc/html doc/html
