Recently I have seen too many branches made in the collective using the
wrong method. There are two simple rules:

* never ever create a branch by doing an import or add of your tree.

* do create a branch by using the svn copy operation and then making the
  changes in the newly created branch

There are several reasons for this: it saves a lot of space since
subvesion only needs to store a reference to the original file instead
of whole copies all files, it makes it possible for everyone to see what
you have changed and it allows merging of changes between branches and
trunk, which is impossible or much harder otherwise.
