Sudden svn conflict during copy

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

Having just tried a pedestrian maven release, the release plugin 
suddenly fails as per below.

The tag .../tags/patricia-db-2.0.5 doesn't exist, and the parent 
directory does. I can see no logical reason why this particular attempt 
to tag should fail.

The only thing that changed recently is that the server was upgraded to 
svn v1.4.6.

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Digging a little further, I find the following logged in the server 
error log. Does anyone know what this means?

[Mon Mar 10 18:54:01 2008] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] (2)No such file 
or directory: <DAV:cannot-modify-checked-in-parent>  [409, #0]
