Pro tip:

If you are like me crazy about file timestamps (if you didn't realize, I am
maintaining the file timestamps of last change in the release tarballs for
10+ years while SVN does not support that) , try the following hack:

# locally clone from former trunk
cp -rp grass71 grass72_release
cd grass72_release
svn switch https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_7_2
# ... now all timestamps are ruined!
# gonna fix them now!

# move 7.2's .svn/ elsewhere:
mv .svn /tmp/
cd ..
rm -rf grass72_release
cp -rp grass71 grass72_release
cd grass72_release
# reinstate the real .svn/
rm -rf .svn
mv /tmp/.svn .

# revert back the files which are now ahead of relbranch72
svn status
svn status | grep '^M' | cut -d' ' -f2- | xargs svn revert
# trash garbage
svn status | grep '^?' | cut -d' ' -f2- | xargs rm -rf

# now it is clean but better double check
svn status
svn diff
svn up

# done

Cheers
Markus
