If a client calls svn_client_copy to copy

  svn_client_copy file:///repo/src file:///repo/dst

the client cannot predict the outcome, it does not know whether

  file:///repo/dst

or

  file:///repo/dst/src

will get created. I agree with Steve, this sort of behaviour is
undesirable in the library.
