Question: shall I copy the whole trunk on the branch or only
trunk/main?


Very good question  :-)

In fact, I don't know how to create a new branch with svn. Is there
a wiki page explaining that ?

I don't use svn myself (I use git-svn), but I've found
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.branchmerge.using.html#svn.branchmerge.using.create

the command will be:

$ svn copy \
     https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk/main \
     https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/branches/gbuild

I have already started to use branches, I used https://svn-master.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/branches/alg/svnreplacement for example, thus putting a username between branches and the name of the branch. I did that since I also have an aw080 branch there. That way, the branches will not get too crowded and noone needs to ask the list whom that branch xyz belongs.

Just my 2 cents...

If I only copy trunk/main

I see Armin copied the whole trunk, but in this case may be I can omit
the extras and ext_sources subrepos.


Regards

Sincerely,
        Armin
