Same answer you got on svnforum.org. You can't check out from 2 URLs
into the same working copy directory.

You can do this:
mkdir myWCs
cd myWCs
svn co <URL_TO_BRANCH1> branch1
svn co <URL_TO_BRANCH2> branch2

But those are independent and separate WCs - you have to commit each
individually.

You cannot do this:
mkdir myWCs
cd myWCs
svn co <URL_TO_BRANCH1> .
svn co <URL_TO_BRANCH2> .
