The error is that trunk already exists, inside R4.10.1t. The target of the copy is either the final destination or the parent of the final destination depending on the state of the repository. This is the same as the Unix cp command, but can be confusing: svnadmin create repo svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A svn cp file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/B # creates ^/B svn cp file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/B # creates ^/B/A svn cp file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/B # error A, i.e. ^/B/A, exists We probably ought to put the full path in the error message so that it is easier to understand. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
