You probably want to do an "svn export" to create the new project from
the data of the old one. It won't have the history or anything, but you
can use those files for an svn import to the location you want it to
have. There is no relationship between folder names and paths in a
working copy and the paths within the repository on the server.
If you *do* want to keep history, then checkout the whole projects\
folder and do an "svn copy" of the project_template\ folder to
project_CustomerABC\. This may be simpler than doing an export, but it
is limited (AFAIK) to being within the same repository. Export/import
will allow the files to be a clean new start in a separate repository,
if you want that.
