Querry for tagging

[Rahul <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi
             I am facing a problem for tags
             If I create a tag using command
    svn copy http:///repos/xyz http:///repo/tags/1
then the file or heirarchy under xyz is copied under 1
for example if
xyz/1.txt
xyz/2.txt
then 1 will contain 1.txt and 2.txt and structure under 1 will be
1/1.txt
1/2.txt
but if i run this command again unknowingly that 1 is already there
then it will copy folder xyz and place the files in them again
then 1 will have
1/1.txt
1/2.txt
1/xyz/1.txt
1/xyz/2.txt

but in third time it will give an error
svn: Path '1/xyz' already exists

Is there anything to generate error on the second attempt itself so tht
structure wont be hampered as i dont want that xyz to be created.

Regards
Rahul

This is standard Unix copy behavior.

This should work: You can configure svnperms.py (I believe) to allow  
people to create tags, but not to modify them. That would include  
modification of the kind you encounter when you try to create a tag  
that's already there.
