svn cp (newbie question)

On linux...

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn --version
svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084)
compiled Feb 20 2007, 11:46:52

According to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.svn.c.copy.html
"svn copy — Copy a file or directory in a working copy or in the
repository."

Trying some command line stuff ...

OK - this looks fairly normal:

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1
branches/
tags/
trunk/

And we only have one file in trunk...

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags
[jft@coyote admin]$
[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/branches
[jft@coyote admin]$
[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/trunk
hello.c
[jft@coyote admin]$

Here's a first attempt to copy that file from trunk to tags (file name
included in destination):

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn cp
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/trunk/hello.c
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags/test/hello.c
-m "copy file to test tag"
svn: Path 'tags/test' not present

Verifying that we still have nothing in the tags directory:

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags
[jft@coyote admin]$

OK, let's try again (file name not included in destination):

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn cp
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/trunk/hello.c
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags/test -m "copy
file to test tag"

Committed revision 25.

It looks like it worked, but ....

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags
test
[jft@coyote admin]$
[jft@coyote admin]$ svn list
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags/test
test
[jft@coyote admin]$

Huh? test inside test?? What is that? It's the file, which has been
renamed...

[jft@coyote admin]$ svn cat
file:///home/jft/my_newrepos/my/up/portlets/portlet1/tags/test
/*

Not what I expected - thought I'd find the file with its original name -
hello.c.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim
