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/P= rojects/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://s= erver.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
