"svn copy -rHEAD" copies the wrong version.

svn cp -rHEAD WC-FILE NEW-WC-FILE

does not contact the repository to determine "-rHEAD". Instead it copies the version that currently exists in the WC. The following script demonstrates it.

[[[
#!/bin/bash
# Show bugs in "svn copy"

set -x -e
TEST_DIR=svn-copy-test
mkdir $TEST_DIR
cd $TEST_DIR
svnadmin create repos
REPOS=file://`pwd`/repos
svn co $REPOS wc
cd wc

# Now we have a repository and a WC, start playing in the WC.
echo "File a." > a
svn add a
svn ci -m "One line in a." a
echo "a: line 2" >> a
svn ci -m "Second line."
svn up -r1 a

svn copy -rHEAD a b ### copies the wrong version
# file b should have two lines but only has one
svn info b
svn cat b
svn cat -rHEAD a
]]]

I couldn't find an issue for this and I haven't filed one yet.
