I assume you mean "based on the trunk of the project as it existed in  
revision 59."

I would just do it via URL. Seems easiest.

If $PROJ is the URL to your project (for example, https:// 
www.example.org/svn/some_project) then you could say:

svn cp -r 59 $PROJ/trunk $PROJ/branches/new_branch_name
