I too work on multiple workspaces. When I want to create a new one, I
pick my least-active workspace, copy it, and revert the copy. All of
this should be as fast as possible, since it doesn't need to hit the
network. Then I can update the new working copy and get to work.
$ cp -RPp trunk-foo trunk-bar
$ svn revert -R trunk-bar
$ svn update trunk-bar
