Subversion 1.6 Ubuntu 10.4
I have a project with the following repository layout.
proj/trunk
proj/branches/new_feature1/
proj/branches/new_feature2/
proj/tags
However, I would like to create a small test app, that isn't a new feature. Just just testing a small aspect of the project. I would like to create this test_app on a new branch. However, I don't want to have to copy from trunk to branch. I just want to create a new empty branch so that I can develop this test_app.
Is there any way to do this?
Many thanks for any suggestions,

To create empty branch, you have to go to terminal and execute: git checkout --orphan branchname git rm -rf . Only after that you may see the new branch on GUI.
Git Create Empty Branch We can use --orphan command line option to create a new branch with no parents. The above command will create a new branch with no parents. Now, you can delete files from the working directory, so they don't commit to a new branch.
You can use svn mkdir to create the directory, and then use svn co to check it out:
svn mkdir http://path/to/svn/repository/branches/experimental_project
svn co http://path/to/svn/repository/branches/experimental_project project
One way would be to check out your branches, add a new empty branch, svn add the new branch then commit. You could probably do the same from the command line directly into the repo.
