RE: New subversion bug?

This is actually the designed implementation for many Subversion releases.

If the target doesn't exist, the source is copied to the target. If it does
exist it is copied below the target.

This matches the behavior of Unix's 'cp' and Windows' 'copy' for these
cases.

In your third case you find that the target below the passed target already
exists, and you get an error.

Subject: 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
