RE: Re: "svn copy -rHEAD" copies the wrong version.

Hi,

Isn't '-r' in the WC used to specify -rBASE, -rPREV, etc? Or does that *not* work for the case of 'svn cp'?

If it does work, and it's deemed useful functionality, then removing '-r' from 'svn cp' wouldn't be a good idea.

regards,

--Tim

Well, heck, if '-r' is already working in the WC->WC case most of the
time, why don't you investigate the bug? It sounds like we're almost
there. Maybe it's really trivial to make -rHEAD work correctly.

If it isn't trivial, then I'd suggest going the other route: forbid
-r completely in the WC->WC case, and make docs very clear about it.
