The entire repository exists at every revision, so the diff between 51 and
50 would give you exactly what you want.

This is the behavior you get if you create the branch1 folder yourself,
instead of letting the copy operation do it. Apparently, that is also how
the copy command would work on a Unix filesystem, which is why the SVN devs
