FYI, just as a side note for those interested in version control systems. Contrary to what you say branching in SVN is very much like it is git. It just depends how you create a branch (or a "path" in SVN). What you did in git would be this in SVN world: svn checkout http://repo/trunk # [delay] svn cp . http://repo/branches/foo The trunk could have been changed in between on the server, this wouldn't be reflected on the branch. What you're used to is remote-copying, probably: svn cp http://repo/trunk http://repo/branches/foo but this is, to be honest, a very questionable command since you have absolutely no control over which version you're copying (which version of trunk you're branching). And if you do specify a version (there is such a possibility) this in no way differs from pulling changes from remote in git, marking your "branching" commit and then creating a branch from there.
