I do not really know what you are talking about. Nothing has really been
changed in this area. Perhaps you are being tripped up by the semantics
of the Subversion copy operation? If the target of your copy already
exists, then Subversion copies the folder into the target. If the target
does not exist, then it creates the target and copies the contents of the
folder into the target. The net result is that typically you want to
allow the copy option to create the target folder. It will then use the
name you provided and copy the contents into that name.
