I thought I had this under control with Bens pointer to
<http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#website-auto-update>

But I have discovered a problem when I perform a copy from my trunk to
the tags-directory that my live-site is a working copy of, tags/site1:

The first time works fine:
> svn copy trunk tags/site1
> A tags/site1

But the second time, when 'site1' already exists:
> svn copy trunk tags/site1
> A tags/site1/trunk

in other words copy assumes that I do not want to overwrite, and instead
adds directory trunk to site1 - which is not what I want. How should I
handle this better?

It seems a bit strange that the same command gives different results
like this.

regards,
Jan
