If I have problems, I am a programmer - I can analyze the problem and
fix it. You'd have a right to wring the necks of those who lack
understanding of the tools they are using (clearly, SVNCopy isn't for
everyone). If any of your developers wrote SVNCopy, you'd also have a
right to string them up because they probably wouldn't follow the QA
processes I put every one of my programs through.
However, if I may point out, by maintaining such a stringent
methodology, you risk losing your most valuable developers by not
allowing them freedom to experiment with new toys (I'm not just talking
about SVNCopy but you probably don't allow anyone to install anything
you don't approve of first).
Of course, if this tool hoses my WC (which it won't - I'm too careful),
I'm the only one to blame and I certainly wouldn't contact SVN or TSVN
about it.
