Maybe I'm dumb, but since both the build tree and the source tree are
in the same repository, subversion is getting angry when I try to
commit the copy:

Adding (bin)
build/iWake.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/
keyedobjects.nib
subversion/libsvn_client/commit.c:658: (apr_err=160020)
svn: Item already exists in filesystem
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
subversion/libsvn_fs/tree.c:203: (apr_err=160020)
svn: file already exists: filesystem `/Users/seth/svn/repos/db',
transaction `i', path
`/iWake/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/keyedobjects.nib'
subversion/clients/cmdline/util.c:311: (apr_err=160020)
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
subversion/clients/cmdline/util.c:311: (apr_err=160020)
svn: '/Users/seth/pb/iWake/svn-commit.tmp'
