That sounds like it could be the beginning of an explanation. To
continue, the problem is that this command has two possible outcomes:
svn copy \
http://server/svn/src/trunk/xyz \
http://server/svn/src/branches/bob/xyz
1) If branches/bob/xyz does not exist, then this command creates
branches/bob/xyz and copies the contents of trunk/xyz into it.
2) If branches/bob/xyz already exists, then this command creates
branches/bob/xyz/xyz and copies the contents of trunk/xyz into it.
