svn: Path <> does not exist in revision 0

[Dick Heth <dh...@martingalecorp.com>]

   

I have been using subversion and tortoise for the last few months on some
development and have been very happy with it. It's like CVS on steroids. 

 

Last week I needed to strike a TAG for an alpha release of some software and
I have run into a problem.  I am unable to copy my code to my tags
directory.  I thought I could isolate  this on another server but I am still
running into the same error "svn: Path 'file:///var/repos/insite/trunk/*'
does not exist in revision 0"

 

Below are the steps I took to isolate this: 

 

   >  umask 002

   >  svnadmin create /var/repos/insite

   >  svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/trunk

   >  svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/tags

   >  svnadmin create /var/repos/insite/branches

   >  svn import insite file:///var/repos/insite/trunk -m 'testing 123'

   >  svn copy file:///var/repos/insite/trunk
file:///var/repos/insite/tags/alpha-test -m 'alpha test'

            svn: Path 'file:///var/repos/insite/trunk/*' does not exist in
revision 0

 

I am able to checkout the "trunk" and modify and commit code but it just
won't copy to the tags library.

 

Can someone please give me some suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
