trunk dir being created when creating branch

Hi,

Just a quick question.

when doing:

svn copy -m "creating release branch 1.0"
http://development:8090/svn-repos/Neo/trunk
http://development:8090/svn-repos/Neo/branches/rb-1.0

Is there a way to avoid the trunk directory being created in branches/rb-1.0??

Using svn 1.4.6 on win xp.


Thanks

Thanks Kevin, spot on.

The problem was that i created the branches/rb-1.0 directory before the
copy.

So note to self:

create /branches

then copy to /branches/rb-1.0

Thanks again for the help

Did you create directory branches/rb-1.0 before the copy?  If so, don't -
the copy will create it.  That's the only way I can see you getting a trunk
directory.  Or, if you really have another trunk inside of first trunk
directory.

I use a command just like you showed all the time and do not get an extra
directory (but I know the destination directory does not exist when I do the
copy)
