In essence, you are saying that _all_ of the svn subcommands (cp, rm,
diff, etc.) that accept either a path or a URL are buggy.

I'd file this bug under "Well, Don't Do That Then". There is no need
to create paths that resemble URLs, and if you're going to do it,
there's no need to refer to them with multiple / characters in a row.

Adding a flag to disambiguate between 'svn cp URL URL' or 'svn cp PATH
PATH' would annoy me and, I suspect, almost everyone else.
