Agreed - I always cd into the source and use '.' as the source name so
there can be no ambiguity about whether or not I want the target to have
a new directory created that I didn't include in the target path
(because if I wanted it, I would have specified it...).

However, there's no equivalent for svn - and I'm not sure there is any
'right' thing to happen if someone else just created the same tag that
you are copying to, or you forget and repeat the same copy yourself.
