When making a branch in TortoiseSVN, what do "head", "working copy", and "specific" revisions mean?
- by Asad Butt
A new user of Tortoise SVN, working over source control.
I have a Visual Studio solution which consists of 5 webAppliation projects.
I need to take one out and work over it in a branch.
When I try to branch it, It is asking me of one of these options
head revision in repository
specific revision in repository
working copy revision
Problem 1: What exactly are these ? I am confused with "head revision" and "working copy", as they appear same to me.
EDIT:
Problem 2: Why cant we branch from Repository GUI itself, (would be head revision) ?
Problem 3: Can you list the steps, needed to branch from a directory !
