Is there any particular reason why both the branch/tag interface as well as the copy in repo browser doesn't at least allow for an option to include intermediate folder creation in copies? The underpinnings of svn command line copy with the --parents option support this as well as some other svn clients.

The reason we don't use this option is that it makes it way too easy to
create the wrong folders: you wouldn't notice a typo in your target
path/url since the typo path would be automatically created.

Also, that option caused a lot of other troubles, at least in 1.6 -
haven't tested if 1.7 has those problems solved or not though.
