Is your working copy really the root of your hard disk? I'm surprised
by the slashes at the beginning of both of those paths. I would have
expected:

cd workingcopy
svn cp trunk/Product branch/x.y/Product

or

cd workingcopy
svn cp trunk branch/x.y

That probably didn't do anything, since you had not made any change
directly to the branch directory. ("svn revert" is not recursive by
default.) I think you need to instead:

svn revert branch/x.y

Or possibly:

svn revert -R branch
