unable to use dates for svn commands (no date format accepted for some reason?)

[Paul Payton <PP...@SigmaTel.com>]

I am using 1.2.3 subversion
I would like to create tag based on date using the trunk
svn copy -r {"2005-11-15 23:45 -0600"} <SRC> <DST>
even the simplest of dates {2005-11-15} gives me:
svn: Syntax error in revision argument '2005-11-15'
 
I tried this on log, copy, co ... all the commands give some error

Your shell is interpreting the curly braces; Subversion is not even  
seeing them. Enclose them in single quotes, or put backslashes before  
them, to prevent the shell from seeing them and pass them directly on  
to Subversion.

svn copy -r '{2005-11-15}' <SRC> <DST>
