Create a new branch in SVN

The LPJmL code is made of a trunk version (the standard one) and of branches, where new features are being developed and tested.

So, if you want to work on the code, the procedure is to create a new branch either from the trunk or from other branches.

The command for that is:

svn copy http://subversion/svn/LPJ/branches/name_of_the_source_branch 2 http://subversion/svn/LPJ/branches/name_of_the_new_branch -m "creating my new branch"

Then you should check-out the branch on your home directory:

svn checkout http://subversion/svn/LPJ/branches/name_of_the_new_branch /home/minoli/LPJ/name_of_the_new_branch

and/or on your local PC (via Tortoise SVN, see also: Configure_visual_studio_2015) and start working on that.
