Subversion doesn't really have a concept of branches or tags. That's
simply a definition of the user (i.e., the /branches, /tags, /trunk
folder structure).
So, the command line client doesn't have a "branch/tag" command, only a
"copy" command. TSVN only uses "branch/tag" because that's what most
users are expecting. Especially beginners look for "branch/tag" and
never realize that "copy" is the command they're looking for.

So to sum up: branch/tag is the very same as a copy.
