Objectives of this exercise it to learn how to branch the trunk into your '''''workspace''''' and merge it back after task is done.
This process ([http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.commonpatterns.feature Feature Branching]) is taken virtually every time you have a task to add code or documentation to the project:  
# Go through the code in [[#CFrame|CFrame]] and the description of [[#CFrame|CFrame]] here and understand what it does. Then divide the methods of the [[#CFrame|CFrame]] class between the members of the team so each one of you will be responsible to add comments for few of the functions.
# Create a directory on your computer in which you are going to '''checkout''' the repository.
#: this direcotry directory is where, you are going to do your work and development. lets call this direcotory directory '''locdir'''
# Checkout the repository into '''locdir''':
#* right click on '''locdir''' and select '''"SVN ChekcoutCheckout"'''#* In '''"URL of repository"''' type the path to your repository like: ''svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXXoop344_121repXX''.
#* Leave the rest to be what they are.
#* Click on '''OK''' (if prompted for userid and password, enter them)
#* Or you can issue the following command line:<big><pre>svn co svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXX locdir --username stdId --password stpassword</pre></big>
# Branch the trunk into your workspace under a directory with a proper name, lets call the direcotry directory ''"CommentingCFrame"'' #* Right click on '''trunk''' in '''locdir''' and under "TortoiseSVN" submenu sub-menu click on "Branch/tag"#* Click on the button at right side of '''To URL''' and browse and find your '''workspace''' under branches direcotry directory (i.e. ''svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXXoop344_121repXX/branches/stdId'') and select it.#* Add the branch name to the end of the selected path: <big><pre>svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXXoop344_121repXX/branches/stdId/CommentingCFrame</pre></big>#* In '''Log message''' type ''"Braching Branching to add comments to CFrame methods"''
#* Leave the rest of the options to remain as they are and click on ok.
#*: This will make a copy of trunk under your '''workspace/CommentingCFrame''' on the server.
#* Or you can issue the following commanline:<big><pre>svn copy svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXXoop344_121repXX/trunk svn://zenit.senecac.on.ca/oop344_113repXXoop344_121repXX/branches/stdId/CommentingCFrame -m "Braching Branching to add comments to CFrame methods"</pre></big>
#* Note that the type of branching we use in this subject is called [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.commonpatterns.feature Feature Branch]
# Update the repository to get the new branch on the local computer
#* Right click on '''CommentingCFrame''' and click on '''SVN Commit'''
#* In Commit Dialog box write a short description (few words) to explain what is being committed and click on ok.
#* Or you can issue the following command:<big><pre>svn commit locdir\branches\stdId\CommentingCFrame -m "Added commnets comments to foo() and faa() methods"</pre></big>
# Now that the work is done, we want to merge the changes back to trunk
#* First update the whole repository.
