The manual says to do C-u C-x v v to create a branch, which starts out fine. It then asks me for a branch number and to input a log message. This appears to not actually create a new branch, but rather to just check in my revisions. So, how then does one create a new branch? Or is this not possible with vc-svn? In fact, it seems like doing C-u C-x v v doesn't actually do anything different than just C-x v v, except ask for a branch number, which seems to be ignored. Also, it doesn't seem like it can handle merges when there is a conflict. I just get an error message about emacs not being able to understand the update result. So, are these known deficiencies in vc-svn or am I just doing things wrong? Mark
