* no, this does not create a branch but only saves all the listed files
  to a local folder.
* remember, creating a branch is cheap, it does not require any space in
  the repository (ok, not nothing, but only a few bytes).
* if you create a new folder an add these files manually to it, then you
  won't be able to merge future changes there. That's because you don't
  actually create a branch (i.e., a copy from e.g. trunk) but you create
  a new folder without history information.

I'm guessing you want to provide a small zip file for your users to
apply a 'patch' which contains all the new files. So why not create a
public folder where you just drop in the zipped files, named e.g. "patch
x.x.x" ?
You can then create real branches (actually, in your case that would be
called a tag) and compare those as I mentioned before so you can get the
changed files, zip them and upload them somewhere.
