Well you're not. :) You have created two separate repositories, one
called trunk and one called branches (and probably a third called
tags). That won't work. You can't "svn copy" between repositories,
only within a single repository.
Let's clean up this mess so that you have only a single repository.
Before we begin, please check whether there is anything in your
branches and tags repositories:
$ svn ls file:///home/fkim/svn/aetv/branches
$ svn ls file:///home/fkim/svn/aetv/tags
Assuming this shows the branches and tags repositories are empty,
then let's proceed to get rid of them and make the trunk repository
your only repository.
$ cd /home/fkim/svn/aetv
$ mv trunk/* .
$ rm -rf trunk branches tags
Now go to every working copy that you already have. We need to inform
each working copy that the location of the repository has changed.
For each working copy, do this:
$ cd working-copy
$ svn switch --relocate \
file:///home/fkim/svn/aetv/trunk \
file:///home/fkim/svn/aetv
Or if the repository used your svn+ssh URL, then:
$ svn switch --relocate \
svn+ssh://fkim@foo.com/home/fkim/svn/aetv/trunk \
svn+ssh://fkim@foo.com/home/fkim/svn/aetv
So now you've fixed your repository, and you've fixed all working
copies that point to it. Now you can begin reorganizing. In
particular, you will now want to create the trunk, branches and tags
directories in your repository. Go to a clean working copy of this
repository, or check out a new one, and make the three directories:
$ svn checkout file:///home/fkim/svn/aetv reorg
$ cd reorg
$ svn mkdir trunk branches tags
Now for every item that is not the trunk, branches or tags directory,
move it into the trunk directory:
$ svn mv foo trunk
(for every "foo")
Now commit the change.
$ svn ci -m "Making trunk, branches and tags directories and moving
everything into the trunk"
NOW you can make branches or tags by copying from the trunk.
