You can do the delete and copy in a single transaction, using
"mucc" or "rsvn". mucc can be found in the contrib/client-side
directory of the subversion distribution. rsvn can be found at
https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/rsvn/trac.cgi/wiki.

Here's an example using mucc:

REPO=file:///tmp/repo # or svn://wherever/repo or whatever
TOBRANCH=branches/latest
FROMBRANCH=branches/release-1.2
FROMREV=345
message="Replace ${TOBRANCH} with a copy of ${FROMBRANCH}
as of revision ${FROMREV}"
mucc -m "${message}" \
        rm ${REPO}/${TOBRANCH} \
        cp ${FROMREV} ${REPO}/${FROMBRANCH} ${REPO}/${TOBRANCH}
