If you made a typo or a similar mistake when naming your new branch, and you want to rename it, is very simple:

svn move http://svn.domain.com/project/branches/old/ http://svn.domain.com/project/branches/new

Remember to switch any working copies of the old branch though:

svn switch http://svn.domain.com/project/branches/new
