Re: [Tsheetx-developers] New branch required for timezone experiments?

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

>From memory, to correctly create a new branch, you first create a copy of
what your working on *within the repository*, something like:
   svn copy http://source-directory http://destination-directory

Then check the new branch out. Make changes, and check in; changes will get
saved on the destination branch.

If you just copy it on your local machine as you've done so far, if you
'accidentally' ever check that in, it will be checked into the original
source directory in the repository - not what you want.  To "fix" the
situation you have, do the repository copy, check things out to a new
directory on your local box, and then copy the changed files from your new
working directory into the newly checked out directory.  Then make your new
working directory the newly checked out directory, and delete the 'local
copy' directory to keep accidents from happening.
