svn merge / mkdir -p in repositories

Maybe I've missed something in the available tools, but I'm looking
for a way to recusively create a directory structure in a repository,
in order to do partial merges between branches.

The issue is when you have a brach, and you add a directory structure
under it, but don't want to add everything under "thisproject" below.
I can hack around this by checking out trunk and do the operation on
the checked out tree, but it would be nicer if I could just tell it
to create the directory structure and then merge:

 trunk/project/thisproject
 branch/project/thisproject

 branch/project/thisporject/new_dir/new_dir2

 svn mkdir -p file:///rep/trunk/project/thisproject/new_dir/new_dir2
 svn merge file:///rep/branch/project/thisporject/new_dir/new_dir2 \
   file:///rep/trunk/project/thisproject/new_dir/new_dir2

Are there technical resons for disallowing this?
