% svnadmin create /tmp/repo

% svn co file:///tmp/repo wc
Checked out revision 0.

% cd wc/

% touch a b

% svn add a b
A a
A b

% svn ci -m "rev 1"
Adding a
Adding b
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 1.

% svn rm b
D b

% svn cp a b
svn: 'b' is scheduled for deletion; it must be committed before being
overwritten

So to reiterate, is there some way to replace b with a copy of a w/o a
bogus intermediate commit? If not, is there an issue tracking this
limitation?
