That still sounds strange to me. I'm copying some part of my trunk to  
a new branch location in the depot. I've nothing to checkin, nothing  
to merge, I have no dependencies on my local workspace - It seems to  
me that i should be able to do this without a client.

What about labels, do these also need a client?
