New subversion bug?

Hi Yall,

I ran into the problem that when I do an svn copy command three times, it behaves differently each time. The command line is:

svn cp https://server.com/Projects/project_a/trunk https://server.com/Projects/project_a/tags/tag_a

The first time I run this I end up with what I expect, a directory with the url of

https://server.com/Projects/project_a/tags/tag_a

which contains the files and folders which are under 'trunk' of the original url.

The second time I run this I get an unexpected directory with the folder

https://server.com/Projects/project_a/tags/tag_a/trunk

which also contain all of the folders and files which are under the 'trunk' of the original url

On the third and subsequent executions of the same command, I get the error I expected on the second invocation except for the url that it complains about already existing. The error is

                Svn: E160020: Path 'trunk' already exists.

I really the error "Svn: E160020: Path 'tag_a' already exists" on the second invocation of the command.

I am running with svn server 1.6 on linux. The client can be windows or linux 1.6 or 1.7. Adding a trailing slace ("/") to the urls does not help, nor does providing a revision option to the command.

   Thank you,
         Joe
