title: create an empty branch
body: <p>Subversion 1.6 
      Ubuntu 10.4</p>
  
  <p>I have a project with the following repository layout.</p>
  
  <pre><code>proj/trunk
  proj/branches/new_feature1/
  proj/branches/new_feature2/
  proj/tags
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I would like to create a small test app, that isn't a new feature. Just just testing a small aspect of the project. I would like to create this test_app on a new branch. However, I don't want to have to copy from trunk to branch. I just want to create a new empty branch so that I can develop this test_app.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any suggestions,</p>
