Thanks to everyone for thinking through the issues here. This has been very helpful. I don't understand the practical advantages of a copy versus a branch, particularly since I will have to create a branch eventually. I could use some more education here.
Copy == branch. For great explanations of all things svn, I suggest the excellent svn reference at: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html See, in particular, the "Key Concepts Behind Branches," "Common Branching Patterns," and the section on Tags.
