Svn Copy question...

A colleague left and I am going through his laptop to checkin anything that was not committed already. As I don't know the state of things I'm copying stuff to their own branch - leaving the original source alone. However, I've run into an issue - one working copy is missing a folder; however, that folder does not appear to have been in source control at all. Another working copy of the same branch has the folder, but marked deleted - it was moved into a sub-tree I think. I don't know anything about this particular folder, but SVN is refusing to let me do an 'svn copy' without the branch. And I'd rather not do an svn update on the working copy as I want to maintain what is there without any changes for the moment. I'm doing: > svn copy _dot_ svn.my.server.com/path/to/copy/to where _dot_ is a  single period for the current directory (since it doesn't show up too well in e-mail/webmail/etc). Is there any way I can get around this? Ben P.S. In case it matters at all - Windows command-line client version of SVN installed is 1.6.9 (r901367) by CollabNet. SVN Server (on Apache2) version is 1.6.6.
