Correction! This leaves you with an empty trunk... You want your current
branch to appear as the new trunk, so, instead of creating the directory
'new' , copy the candidate branch to new.

  - svn copy the trunk to a branch (or tag), assuming you want to remember
where you ditched it.
  - svn copy the branch that is the current version, to a new directory,
say, 'new', so now you have trunk, tags, branches, and new.
  - svn delete trunk
  - svn rename 'new' to 'trunk'.

Commit after each step.
