I guess that depends on if you want -CURRENT or (what will be) 8-STABLE

If I understand what that command is supposed to do I guess 'svn switch' is
the answer. See the subversion documentation at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.switchwc.html
for exact syntax and details.
(Subversion has fairly good documentation.  If you intend to use svn I
would suggest you read that documentation to find all the things you can do
and how to do them.)
