Subject: Re: [Subclipse-users] Weird tagging problem.
That is just how the Subversion copy command has always worked. The explanation I have seen in the past from the developers is that
it is consistent with how the Unix cp command works. Basically, to get it to work the way you want, you need to let the copy
command create the <tag> folder. If that folder already exists, you get the behavior you have seen. This comes up pretty regularly
on the Subversion users@ mailing list.
For me what Vladimir reported is an example of bad tag behavior.
Every time I see this kind of problem+answer, I get the impression that Subversion (and/or its clients?) doesn't care much about the
needs of those who actually use tags and branches.
In my opinion, for version control users that need tags and branches, it doesn't matter how a copy command works but how tags and
branches work and what happens when we try to do a tag or a branch. And if the result is agreed to be undesirable, the logic behind
the action should be changed somewhere.
Best regards,
Felipe
