Hi. You may be aware of this already but, if not, it might be something to consider as an alternative to your suggestion.
I generally checkout to a local folder with a neutral name. For example, if I were to checkout trunk from the project_xyz repository I'd likely name the local folder "project_xyz". Specifically, I wouldn't name it "trunk". This is cosmetic but can avoid confusion for later in this suggestion. When I want to create a branch, I'd normally use the TortoiseSVN "Branch/tag..." context menu option, from the checkout root folder. In the subsequent dialog, I select the new branch name. The important thing is to enable the "Switch working copy to new branch/tag" option, at the bottom of the dialog. Using that approach, the existing local working copy is updated to a checkout of the newly created branch. It also has the benefit that local, uncommitted, changes are preserved so that they're ready to commit to the newly created branch or continue development. For a large repository, this approach is likely to be quicker as the existing working copy only needs to modified and avoids a full download of a new checkout. At any point, the TortoiseSVN "Switch..." context menu item can be used to update the local checkout to a different repository location (e.g. back to trunk). You can use the Subversion tab of the folder properties dialog to keep track of the checkout repository location. Now, this isn't the same as your suggested feature but it might be helpful if you haven't considered this workflow. Hope this helps.
