No. I just wanted to show that the basic paths existed (/mnt/h/svn)
because of the "Unable to open repository" message below.

Ah okay. Thanks. Will try again next week when I am back at
work. Perhaps the redbook is misleading here then, because going purely
by the text in the commands shown in the example it looks like two
different repositories are involved:
,----
| $ svn copy http://svn.example.com/repos/vendor/libcomplex/1.0 \
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
| http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/libcomplex \
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^
| -m "bringing libcomplex-1.0 into the main branch"
`----

I did my local equivalent of
,----
| $ svn copy http://svn.example.com/repos/vendor/libcomplex/current \
| http://svn.example.com/repos/vendor/libcomplex/1.0 \
| -m "tagging libcomplex-1.0"
`----
before that ('The tagging of the "vendor data" went okay' in my last
post).
