A small thing to add:

Branches do allow people the isolated invironment, but at a very high
cost: the pain of merging.  Isolated environments are _not_ the goal of
group development, but only useful sometimes.  Then there is the
difficulty of merging, which is slow and tedious and not a creative
activity.  So for a small or medium project, I would only use a branch
for stable or supported versions as described in the SVN book.

Hope that helps!
