Edit Question
Title
Body
Example: $ svn copy foo.txt bar.txt A bar.txt When would you use this technique, and why? Will this command (taken from svn's "red book") creates a copy of <foo.txt> while preserving the history of it to be shared with <bar.txt> ? If I'm changing <bar.txt> , what will happen to <foo.txt> ? What are the equivalents to this in other modern systems (Clearcase, Accurev, Perforce)? Let me emphasize the point I'm searching for: Is this kind of branching out on a file level? What happens if you use it in the same branch, i.e. create a copy of a file and than start changing that new file. all in the same branch? I understand that it is also used for tagging but what is interesting me is what to expect when performing <svn copy> on the file level.
