I don't know of a way to do this. You can try deleting the .svn
directory inside the new working copy to see what happens, but you
could just end up screwing it up. I'd make a copy first. That's just a
guess, you might get a better answer from somebody else.

This I can answer. Use "Update to Revision" and select the items again
with the same dialog.
Or use the command-line tools with one of the switches to the "svn
update" command. Basically, if you're modifying the current working
copy, you want "update", and you only use "checkout" when you want a
*new* working copy.
