RE: svn copy onto itself is possible

Hi Michal,

To mimic something because:
 ( ) it has always been done that way
 ( ) unix does it that way
(Check appropriate), is not always the best decision.

--- Quote from Ben's mail that has just popped in:
cp path/A path/B --> if path/B doesn't exist, creates path/B
                      if path/B does exist, creates path/B/A

---
I think in 90% (my wild guess) of the cases people do not want this to
happen and a warning would be in order. It doesn't harm anybody and it
prevents the user from doing something that he normally doesn't want.

I know... :-)
