I'm not sure, but I think that "svn copy repos_url wc_path" is a
two-step process:

   1. basically, `svn co repos_url wc_path'
   2. then, we link up the wc_path to its parent dir with a kind of 'add'.

That's why the output is segmented into what looks like two commands:

   A newdir1/foo
   A newdir1/bar
   Checked out revision 45 <---- here's the division
   A newdir1
   
Disclaimer: This is a guess based on ancient memories of Karl's
implementation of `svn copy repos_url wc_path' -- I have not confirmed
this as fact.
