Copying contents of a specific folder with SVN

I am having difficulty copying the contents of one subversion folder into another folder. For example lets say i have:

https://svn_server.com/trunk/a
and...
https://svn_server.com/trunk/b

When i use the copy command like this:

svn cp https://svn_server.com/trunk/a https://svn_server.com/trunk/b

It works but it results in /trunk/b/a. I simply want to duplicate the contents of /trunk/a into /trunk/b and ignore the parent folder. Is this possible?

There is already some data in folder B, right?

I think that you don't need to use svn copy in this case because what you want is to replace data in folder B with data from folder A or merge these directories. You could checkout a working copy of trunk and copy contents from A to B. Add new files with svn add if necessary, review your changes and commit.
