Suppose you want to branch "/trunk" to "/branches/newstuff". In this
case the "/branches" folder must already exist, and the "newstuff"
folder must NOT yet exist.

When you create a new folder in windows explorer the situation is
analogous: the parent folder should already exist. The folder you
are trying to create should not already be there.
