If a change you're making to a Subversion/SVN project is big enough, or experimental enough, you might want to create a new branch for working on your changes, to keep it separate from the primary development trunk. In this video you can talk about how to create new branches using Eclipse, and how to switch your working copy to use a branch.
- [Narrator] So far, we've been doing all our work in trunk.…That's fine and some people stay in trunk and never leave,…but most people use some sort of branching strategy…to work on branches separate from trunk,…so they can merge their changes back in later,…or so they can abandon their changes if they don't work.…Let's make a branch and see what that process looks like.…We're starting from the Eclipse project,…we used in the previous section,…that's already connected to the SVN server.…Right-click this project in Package Explorer,…and choose Team, Branch.…
One thing that might trip you up here,…up until now we've been entering full URLs…to point to repositories and projects…on the Subversion server,…but the Eclipse Subversive plug-in is kind of smart,…and it knows that when we say we want to make a branch,…that means we want to create a folder…in the branch's folder of the current project.…It already knows what project we're in…and it knows that the branch's folder is,…or will be, called Branches.…So you don't need any of that up here.…
