Hm, when I think about it a little more, I can see two correct ways of
handling svn cp to a non-wc:

1) bomb out early

or

2) do exactly what svn export does

Rationale for 2) is this: svn cp should get the contents of the files
from URL, but transfer version control to that of the destination,
right? So in the case where the destination is not version
controlled, you should just get the files without version control.
