"svn copy URL WCPATH" when WCPATH exists

If I have a file in a WC "/my/wc/foo.c", then "svn delete" that file,
and try to "svn copy http://some/other/foo.c /my/wc/foo.c", I get the
error "Entry for '/my/wc/foo.c' exists (though the working file is
missing)".

If I skip the "svn delete", I get "File /my/wc/foo.c already exists".

Is there a way to delete a file from a WC, then "svn copy" it from
somewhere else, without commiting in between?

(Yes, I realize I can do a merge, or simply do an OS copy of the file to
the new location, but I'd rather use svn copy so that /my/wc/foo.c
retains the entire history of the new place it was copied from).
