What is it in my way of asking that seems incorrect to you and makes you think I'm missing a point about revision numbers? If we find that we can make progress...
$Rev is the last-committed revision, so for files within the directory
that should not change. However, the item that you copied - the top
level folder - is the one item that has a new revision number. In repo
browser if you drill down into the folder you should see the revisions
of the contents as you expect at lower revision numbers.
One caveat, if you branch/tag using the "Create branch from WC"
option, rather than using HEAD or a specific revision then I am not
sure what happens. Certainly any files that were modified will be
copied in their modified state and therefore correspond to the new
revision.
I'm not sure if this answers your question.
Simon
