How much have you worked with Subversion so far? I am doing quite a
bit
of work with it, and the do-everything-via-copying paradigm does not
get
in my hair. It actually means that I have to remember fewer commands.
And it is pretty easy to understand.
Sure, it's simpler, but the overhead in creating and using a branch is
much larger. I have to extract the URL from the repository (since
naturally I only have trunk checked out), issue a command to copy by
URL, then issue an `svn switch` command, and then I have to remember
that I have a switched repository. Switching between branches is a
pain, especially if you have uncommitted work. There's a reason I
never bothered to use branches when I used subversion.
