A shell script could do this work for you. Here is one that
calculates the new URL assuming the first component is ..:

    #!/bin/sh
    
    svn_url="`svn info |grep ^URL: |awk '{ print $2}'`"
    svn_parent_url="`dirname "$svn_url"`"
    svn_new_url="$svn_parent_url/$1"
    echo "$svn_new_url"

So, for example, running it with a parameter of "branches/foozle" will
output the base URL with the last component removed, and
"branches/foozle" in its place.

Not exactly what the OP wanted, but maybe close enough to be a good
start.
