Re: Why does "svn copy -r 28 http://rep/p/Test http://rep/p/Test" produce a copy as Test/Test ? - but not if Test does not exist or is deleted from HEAD before?

That's correct.

'svn cp A B/C' tests to see if C exists in B already. If it doesn't,
then it creates C. If it does exist already, it creates B/C/A.

And 'svn mv' follows the same rules, because it's the same as "svn cp;
svn rm".
