This creates tags/test_1.0.0 as a copy of trunk/base/install

This copies trunk/base/install into tags/test_1.0.0

This tries to copy trunk/base/install into tags/test_1.0.0 again but can't because it's already there.

This behavior is consistent with the unix cp command and should therefore not be unexpected.

Really? 1.5 behaved differently? That's strange.
