Re: detecting move and copy

David, Thanks for you response.
We have a couple of branch directories. One of them should only be
holding release branches and nothing else and other can hold any
branch.
Obviously, we do not want to have spurious branch creations on the
release branch tree. We could write a hook that looks for directory
additions (but as you point out, it does not tell you whether it was
svn add or a svn mkdir or a svn copy) or we could restrict the branch
creations in the release tree to only a a couple of users.
This is not a pressing need for us. But I was curious to know whether
there is a way for the svn server to know whether the incoming request
is a "svn copy/move" (that is whether it is an Addition with history)

Thanks
-Hari
