I have to admit, I still don't understand what you're trying to do
here. I recommended 'svn cp URL URL' blindly, and the message above
is an attempt to commit an 'svn cp wc-path wc-path', which is a
slightly different beast.
Either way, in Subversion, the 'svn cp' command will not overwrite the
destination. That's why you're seeing that message.
