I'm having issues doing an svn copy on the trunk of my project because I don't 
have read permissions to a directory further down the tree. My example authz:
  [test:/]
  myuser=rw
  [test:/proj1/trunk/dir1/dir1.2]
  myuser=
The /proj1/trunk/dir1/dir1.2 was deleted a couple of revisions ago, so the 
project at HEAD looks like this:
  branches/
  tags/
  trunk/
  trunk/dir1/
  trunk/dir1/dir1.1/

When I try to copy trunk I get a 403 forbidden:
  svn copy https://svn/svn/test/proj1/trunk 
https://svn/svn/test/proj1/branches/branch1 -m "test"
    svn: access to '/svn/test/!svn/bc/6/proj1/trunk' forbidden

However if I give myself read permissions on /proj1/trunk/dir1/dir1.2 I can do 
the copy.
Why is svn trying to access the directory if it doesn't exist at HEAD? Any help 
on this would be great.

Thanks
