You could write a pre-commit hook script chat checks the path. If
someone tries to check in to the "old" branch then you can output an
error message to stderr, which subversion shows to the user.

The other way I might think of is using permissions. Deny write access
to the old branch. Commits to the old branch will fail, and people might
ask you what to do next.
