So Branch ought to go very close to doing exactly that already. If
NEW_LOCATION is outside a shared repo, the branch dialog will prompt you
to create one. If you do that, it *should* update the destination
location to be OLD_LOCATION/trunk. Click OK and all works.

I say "should" because it doesn't work for me on Linux for some reason
I'm yet to investigate. It was working on Windows though last time I
tried it.
