I tried doing that on a local repository using file:// access, and didn't get
that problem. I got:
:: svn cp -r 10 A .
svn: Obstructed update
svn: 'A' is in the way

and this when I tried copying file to file:
:: svn cp -r 10 A A
svn: Entry already exists
svn: file 'A' already exists.

In both cases my working copy is left in a working state (I'm also running the
HEAD version). So, a couple of questions. What version are you running?
Which ra layer did you use? Can you do a fresh checkout and make this happen
again?

And FWIW, I think the preffered way of going back to a previous version is to
do something like:
:: svn merge -rBASE:76 Makefile.dep

I believe that is in the book somewhere.
