We cannot do anything that the svn copy command does not support. I
suspect if you svn add the items first they will go into the branch.
They definitely will not do it if they are unversioned (as you
discovered).

In general I would not recommend you make branches quite this way.
See this post for the reasons:

Besides the problems you ran into it is hard to later merge your changes.
