Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I actually did create a repository called trunk within the test_svn
directory. I suppose the idea was to have a trunk repository, then branches
and tags folders containing other named copies. Despite the dumb way of
arranging these test folders, shouldn't my copy statement work?
