Ajas, Cameron,
Thanks.
I did mention earlier that they are using DW-CS6. Your superuser link
helped a lot... While it did not definitively answer the question, it
did imply that CS5 does not support branching by dreamweaver. Even if
you do use an external tool to switch branches, you will need to manual
change the DW configuration to the new url. (Sounds really ugly to me...
I would hate to see what happens if you switch branches, then commit
while in DW.)
As for the server, the server is already on version 1.7.8. However, SVN
has good support by allowing the client and server to differ by a point
release. (e.g. a 1.6 client can work with servers 1.5 through 1.7 and a
1.7 server can work with clients between 1.6 and 1.8 whenever a 1.8 is
released.) The big issue isn't support, but 1.6 has a bug when doing
binary compares. A 1.6 client can take over an hour using max cpu to do
a switch on 5MB+ binary file because of this issue, while a 1.7 client
will finish the same compare in seconds.
I'll just have to get them to use SublimeText, or possibly disable SVN
in dreamweaver and use Cornerstone or a different Mac SVN GUI.

I will try to answer with my limited knowledge of DW usage of SVN.
First of all, what version of DW you & your colleagues are using, CS6?
The latest versions have some built in functionality for version
control but in earlier versions, you would have to buy external plugin
for SVN stuff.
Do these branching commands exist through the Dreamweaver interface?
Perhaps in latest versions, I dont know.

If they use an external utility to switch branches will Dreamweaver
recognize it? (I ask because Dreamweaver requires you to specify the
directory on their config screen.)
I found these 2 links
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/using_subversion_pt2.html
and
http://superuser.com/questions/227721/does-dreamweaver-subversion-support-branching
Last, currently dreamweaver is reporting svn version 1.6.9. Is there
an easy way to up it to 1.7? (it is the dreamweaver from CS6)
I think you would have to upgrade your repository to latest version
first, so in your case you would upgrade the subversion repository to
1.7 and then worry about the client.

We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.
No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do.
You can't improve what you don't measure.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high
intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful
execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

All,
Sorry this is not a CF specific question, but I am assuming that
someone on the list may have an answer.
I have an existing SVN setup with a very large project. (roughly
1GB with over 10,000 files in trunk.) Personally, I am not having
a problem with it other then the initial checkout which can take a
long time.
My coworkers are using Dreamweaver/Mac with the same svn repo.
However, they are unable to find any type of
branching/merging/switch commands in Dreamweaver.
* Do these branching commands exist through the Dreamweaver
