In SVN, branches, realses and tags are just common directories. Creating a new branch means making a new directory to contain files copied from other direcotries.
commands as below:
svn mkdir -m "creating breanches directory" http://svn.url/project/branches
svn copy -m "creating a branch for 1.0" svn http://svn.url/project/trunck/ http://svn.url/project/branches/RB-1.0
You can use the same the process to create a tag or a realse.
merge to branches:
