You can't. It's a copy operation, and copy is a change on the
destination, not on the source. The trunk is the source, so the copy
is invisible.

This is a fundamental difference in approach vs. CVS. In CVS, tags
and branches are attributes of a file, and the whole history tree of a
file is in one place, with all the entries mixed together strangely.
In Subversion, a tag or branch is a copy in the namespace. From any
point in the namespace, you only see the history of the branch you're
on (including the point prior to the copy point, i.e., the "fork in
the history", unless you say --stop-on-copy). But you do NOT see the
whole history tree, not unless you ask at the root of the repository.
