Note that such a svn cp will make it quite painful to dump the repository 
later on using svadmin dump and then filtering the dump using svndumpfilter 
to keep only this package. (We've been bitten by that.)

I'd suggest doing instead a svn export of the project-template, then svn 
import as your new package.
