cd workingcopy
svn checkout http://my.repos.com/path/to/trunk
# make your edits
svn switch http://my.repos.com/path/to/branch
svn commit

Now your working copy points to the branch instead of the trunk. You could also check out the branch as a separate working copy, then drag-and-drop your changes into it.
