Re: BUG REPORT("COPY TO" BRANCH FROM TRUNK MERGING BACK TO TRUNK WITHOUT ERROR MESSAGE IF BRANCH FOLDER ALREADY EXISTS)

Hello!

Thanks for reply, and I hope actually I'm writing directly to You is
acceptable.

Yes, I have sent 3 times, as once it was showing up, once again as 2 hours
later did not, and I just did not know why, and simply sent again, but then
was showing up twice...so now, I know what not to do.

So..you wrote me, how to bug report I hope, actually I can do it the right
way:

1. I was right clicking on a local working copy(TRUNK), and the shown menu
I choosed Repo browser
2. I was going up 1 level in the repo, to be able to see trunk as a Folder
3. I was right clicking on TRUNK
4. I choosed COPY TO ...
5. This was showing up the copy to dialog as recently, and I wrote the same
repo, but to point to branches folder instead of trunk, and I was giving a
folder name
At this point I did not know, that the folder name what I was writing
($reponame/branches/BUGFIX_188345) is already exits
And when I was clicking on Ok, it seemed that did do nothing, or simply did
what I wanted, but I've forgotten, that the earlier worked me at thos point
that wanted a commit message, but actually it did not showing up. But this
was only later realized, as at this point I simply dif not know what
heppened: The earlier created, already existed branch was merging back to
trunk.
The way what I suggest to be functioning, if an already existed folder
found on thos operation would be the same as earlier: A popup showing up an
error message: Folder already exists!
By the way later I recognized, that I can somehow figure out what happened,
as if no commit message was showing up, than the copy to operation from
trunk to branches was merging back to trunk, but of course I did not want
that, so I have to reset trunk. And by the way log shows I did a merge
operation, not a copy to, so I could not say to my boss, that no, I did not
do merge back to trunk, as I made a copy to operation.
I hope it is better understandable, and sorry my poor english.
