== SVN Basics ==
=== Directory Structure ===
==== branch ====
'''branch''' is to copy a directory (like trunk) into another directory on the repository server.
: Note that after '''braching ''' the code is copied on '''the repository; to ''' and not the local(client) machine. To actually work on the branched (copied) code you must '''checkout''' the direcotrydirectory after branching.==== merge ===='''merge''' is the opposite of '''branch'''. '''merge''' merges back a branched directory, back to the original directory.
