Feature Request: SVN Copy/Move overwrite...

I recently raised this issue on the SVN list, and was wondering if we could get the functionality in TSVN to do the delete/copy (delete/move) operation set as a single operation with a confirmation dialog when 'overwriting' a file. (See thread 'SVN Copy Question' on the SVN User's list.)

I really like the SVN Copy/Move functionality in TSVN. Adding this would make it superb.

I don't think the user interface would necessarily need to change; though it might be desirable to enable/disable the functionality via the configuration.

Functionality would work as follows:

1) User uses the SVN Copy/Move to copy/move from one SVN location to another.
2) TSVN would try the operation as normal.
2a) If the operation (#2) fails due to an existing file then:
2a-1) Prompt the user: Do you really want to overwrite the file?
2a-1a) If yes, delete the existing file, copy/move the file.
2a-1b) If no, do nothing.
2b) The operation completes normally or fails for other reasons (e.g. not a working copy).

TIA,

Ben
