Hmmm, am I doing something wrong, or is something very broken?

  $ svn copy -r 35 http://web/svn/web/trunk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl .
  svn: Obstructed update
  svn: `wiki.pl' is in the way
  $ rm wiki.pl
  $ svn copy -r 35 http://web/svn/web/trunk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl .
  svn: Unmergeable scheduling requested on an entry
  svn: fold_state_changes: Entry 'wiki.pl' already under revision control
  $

I do get the file I wanted, however, sould I be getting these types
or messages? I would have expected something more indicative of
success. This seems to indicate there was a problem.

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
