cp and mv behaviour with directories (Re: phantom directories in less than 8 revisions, db errors)

Hello,

I know it's old but....

Now I did:

svn mv file:///home/grin/subversion/intermezzo/trunk/intersync-0.9.5.orig \
    file:///home/grin/subversion/intermezzo/vendor/

(both intersync-0.9.5.orig and vendor is a directory)

the result: the _contents_ of intersync-0.9.5.orig ended up in vendor, and
not the directory itself. mv works differently. probably same problem with
cp.
