Then, when you're ready to merge trunk up to your branch, say so, and someone will help you with that. And when you're ready to merge back to trunk, likewise. Yeah, it's scary the first few times, but it's reversible. Any breakage can be reverted. So even if you screw something up, it's not a big real. It can be reversed. svn makes it very safe to experiment. And there are dozens of sandbox svn repos out there that you can experiment in. -- "There are two kinds of light--the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures."
