I know. That dialog isn't supposed to do wc copies, so the labels don't
reflect that. I just said that it *can* be used to do that.

Sure, the log message wouldn't be used at all.

The problem with the branch/tag dialog is that it's already cluttered
with options enough. Using the same for wc->wc copies too is possible
but not intended at all.
Yes, I know TSVN lacks a good way to do wc->wc copies *with* renaming
the targets at the same time. You can of course make suggestions on how
TSVN should provide such a feature...
