[PATCH] make svnmucc consistently log an error when copy targets exist

From: Kevin Radke <kmradke_at_gmail.com>

svnmucc (over DAV) would allow an user to use "CP REV SRC DST" when both SRC
and DST URLs were directories. It would (silently) "replace" DST with SRC.
This appears to be a known bug with mod_dav_svn, but it has been open
since 2004. Hence this patch has svnmucc specifically check and log an error
if the target exists. This provides consistent operation over all
layers for both files and directories.

For example, this would work fine, even if tags/dira exists:
svnmucc CP HEAD http://server/repo/trunk/dira http://server/repo/tags/dira

This would fail if tags/dira exists:
svnmucc CP HEAD file:///path/repo/trunk/dira file:///path/repo/tags/dira

This simple patch makes it consistently log an error when the target
path exists.

This patch is similar (yet has the opposite operation) to my previous
patch which always overwrote the target. That behavior was deemed
unacceptable and this behavior was preferred. A separate patch
will be generated to allow a new default "overwrite" action.

svnmucc-tests.py successfully passes, but was not updated to include
new tests since it does not appear to support testing failure conditions.
