Well, in my working copy checked out from the subversion trunk I just
ran (note that's all one command, even if my mailer splits it into two
lines):

$ svn switch http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.0.x/README README

And it sure switched README onto the 1.0.x branch:

$ svn status
     S README
$
