If you create the branch with a copy from a URL I don't think this will
be an issue, right? Just look at the base revision of your wc, then copy
the trunk at that revision to create the branch. This whole operation
wouldn't let you preserve mixed revision working copies (the switch back
to trunk would update everything to HEAD) but maybe resetting your wc to
look like HEAD is what you want in this situation anyway -- because you
want to work on something else and commit it.
