I think it's the same as this
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=686753

This IMO is a serious regression.
svn cp path url
is to my mind a fundamental feature.

I see from the thread that it only affects http. Does anyone know if it
happens with serf?

I could do that test myself, come to think of it - how do I get the CLI
to use serf (or TSVN to use serf). Do I need a different build?

I'm on WinXP SP3. Our server is 1.3.2 on Ubuntu.
