It doesn't say how exactly, but for non-obvious reasons you choose to
not believe even the cited reference. I just wanted to help. SVN doesn't
know the concept of branching as you may be familiar with it from Git.
When you branch in SVN, you just create a copy with a reference to the
original. It's all laid out clearly in sub-directories, hence this kind
of "branching" is only possible on the directory level, never on a file
level.
from git svn man page:
# Create a new branch in SVN
git svn branch waldo
# Reset your master to trunk (or any other branch, replacing 'trunk'
# with the appropriate name):
git reset --hard remotes/trunk
# You may only dcommit to one branch/tag/trunk at a time. The usage
# of dcommit/rebase/show-ignore should be the same as above.
Think about why you need to do this resetting and stuff.

Sure, but not just a label. It's all "coded" into directory names.

Sub-directories, folders, don't know how to tell you better ...
Maybe someone more familiar with Git can explain better.
