It is not unexpected, but stupid. As 'svn cp' is also the tool to
create tags, it is rather strange that you can just do

  svn cp ${base}/trunk ${base}/tags/1.0.0

(that is, create a tag) twice in a row with any warning whatsoever,
and ending up with an extra 'trunk' dir in the tag.

Has bitten us more than once.
