basically I think you do

svn copy https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/feapi/trunk/ 
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/feapi/branch/putYouBranchName

but I usually do it with TortoiseSVN, which lets you choose to create a 
branch from the trunk or your locally copy. and switch you local copy to 
the new branch if necessary.

BTW when working with svn I ususally use 2 different checkouts:

one of the trunk like that
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/feapi/trunk/FEAPI feapi

and one of the whole tree
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/feapi/ feapi-svn

that way I can easily do repository administration of the whole 
structure feapi-svn like renaming branches, tags, deleting...

and only concentrate on the code with the trunk.

another convenience with the feapi-svn is that at I can view the 
original files at any time.

However for large projects I tend not to checkout the whole tree becaus 
it can get really huge on disk.
