You've described the purpose of the svncopy perl script, which is included with the Subversion source code.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.7.5/contrib/client-side/svncopy/svncopy.pl.in

# This script copies one Subversion location to another, in the same way as
# svn copy. Using the script allows proper branching and tagging of URLs
# containing svn:externals definitions.
#
# For more information see the pod documentation at the foot of the file,
# or run svncopy.pl -?.
