Hi Simon,
Thanks for that.
I solved the problem by removing the file from the tag and retrying my copy. It worked.
I normally create a tag before any release and use a script to rollout named tags to staging and live. In this particular case, the change was so minuscule that would not be worth to create a new tag.
