Copy to working copy...

Copy to working copy is behaving a bit strangely (this is with TortoiseSVN
1.3.5, Build 6804 - 32 Bit):

    I used the repo browser to select a file and then the
    'Copy to working copy...' command.

    I get an alert titled 'Save as...' containing the text
    '<filename> already exists. Do you want to replace it?'
    so I clicked 'Yes'.

    I then get an error box: 'File <filename> already exists'
    with an OK button. (No, it isn't OK!)

Why won't TortoiseSVN overwrite the file when I said it could replace it?
The error message if I delete the target file first is a bit more useful:
it then says 'Entry for <filename> exists (though the working file is
missing)'.

What I'm trying to do BTW (in case there is an easier way to achieve this)
is to copy a much changed file from a different branch in place of the
current working copy instead of trying to do a merge which will just get a
lot of conflicts: is there an easier way to do that?

Or is there a way to do 'Compare with working copy' against a log from a
different branch?
