title: Creating a local SVN branch
body: <p>I am working on an SVN repository and do not want to create a new SVN branch. Instead of that, I want to create a branch local to my machine, something which could be done easily with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29" rel="noreferrer">Git</a>.</p>
  
  <p>But I am currently using SVN and need to branch out from an already-modified SVN version. In essence, I want following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>svn_repo_version = 2259</li>
  <li>working_copy = modified 2259</li>
  <li>new_local_svn_branch = based on modified 2259</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What is the best way to go about it?</p>
