This creates tags/test_1.0.0 as a copy of trunk/base/install > D:\svn copy http://server/svnrepo/trunk/base/install > http://server/svnrepo/tags/test_1.0.0 -m test This copies trunk/base/install into tags/test_1.0.0 > D:\svn copy http://server/svnrepo/trunk/base/install > http://server/svnrepo/tags/test_1.0.0 -m test > svn: Path 'test_1.0.0/install' already exists This tries to copy trunk/base/install into tags/test_1.0.0 again but can't because it's already there. This behavior is consistent with the unix cp command and should therefore not be unexpected. > I would expect that the second try gives > svn: Path 'test_1.0.0' already exists > (as in svn 1.5.5) Really? 1.5 behaved differently? That's strange.
