<p>We covered a lot of ground in this chapter. We
discussed the concepts of tags and branches and demonstrated
how Subversion implements these concepts by copying directories
with the <span class="command"><strong>svn copy</strong></span> command. We showed how
to use <span class="command"><strong>svn merge</strong></span> to copy changes from one
branch to another or roll back bad changes. We went over
the use of <span class="command"><strong>svn switch</strong></span> to create
mixed-location working copies. And we talked about how one
might manage the organization and lifetimes of branches in a
repository.</p>
<p>Remember the Subversion mantra: branches and tags are cheap.
So don't be afraid to use them when needed!</p>
<p>As a helpful reminder of all the operations we discussed,
here is handy reference table you can consult as
you begin to make use of branches.</p>
