svn cp -m "Creating development branch." ^/projects/java/trunk ^/projects/java/branches/my-dev-branch

This command can also be used to make copies of files.

svn cp -m "Copying my file." myfile.java myfile_v2.java

Or to copy a file into a folder.

svn cp -m "Copying my file." myfile.java some/dir

When copying a file into a folder, the folder must already exist in the repository (or have been added using the add command)Now my-dev-branch will be a complete copy of trunk at the time when it was copied.
