title: Checkout specific version of branch
body: <p>I thought I was pretty well acquainted with Subversion, but now something I thought would be trivial is stumping me.</p>
  
  <p>First, I created a branch off of my trunk of a specific version, like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code># svn copy http://server/project/trunk@13708 http://server/project/branches/b2012_03
  Committed revision 13717
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This seems happy.  Note that my trunk has had additional commits, thus the 13717 committed revision and my need to branch off of a specific version.  Anyway there it is.</p>
  
  <p>Next, I want to checkout from the branch, but exactly at 13708 (where it was created) NOT 13717 ... this is important for my build process, don't ask it's not relavent to the problem.</p>
  
  <p>First, I tried this (using the subdirectory 'conf' as a test):</p>
  
  <pre><code># svn co http://server/project/branches/b2012_03/conf conf
  yada yada ...
  Checked out revision 13717.
  
  # cd conf
  # svn info
  Path: .
  Working Copy Root Path: C:\Users\Brett\conf
  URL: http://server/project/branches/b2012_03/conf
  Repository Root: http://server/project
  Repository UUID: f3edbe5d-cdcd-4b35-8400-34e3054bdd74
  Revision: 13717
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That's not what I need, I need the revision at 13708... wipe out 'conf' and try this:</p>
  
  <pre><code># svn -r 13708 co http://server/project/branches/b2012_03/conf conf
  yada yada ...
  Checked out revision 13708.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Hey, that looks encouraging, until ...</p>
  
  <pre><code># cd conf
  # svn info
  Path: .
  Working Copy Root Path: C:\Users\Brett\conf
  URL: http://server/project/trunk/conf
  Repository Root: http://server/project
  Repository UUID: f3edbe5d-cdcd-4b35-8400-34e3054bdd74
  Revision: 13708
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The revision is right, but notice the URL.  It says 'trunk' instead of branch, in spite of checking out from the branch.</p>
  
  <p>Two questions:</p>
  
  <p>How is that possible?
  How do I checkout a specific version from a branch?</p>
