svn copy - tags - avoid copying parent dir
hi
is it possible [in a simple command] to avoid copying the actual parent
directory when using svn copy on URLs?
it seems IMHO that 'svn copy' does one thing when operating on working
copies and another on URL's.
please consider the following flow:
$ svn list -R URL/trunk/MAIN/project_1
file_1
file_2
dir_1/
dir_1/file_1
$ svn copy \
URL/trunk/MAIN/project_1 \
URL/tags/MAIN/project_1/RC-1 \
-m "Tagging a sub project"
$ svn list -R URL/tags/MAIN/project_1/RC-1
project_1/
project_1/file_1
project_1/file_2
project_1/dir_1/
project_1/dir_1/file_1
^^^^^^^^^
Basically i wanted that last 'svn list' command to show exactly the same
as the first 'svn list'
thanks

The behaviour is consistent between URLs and WCs, but it matters whether the
target directory exists or not.
If the directory URL/tags/MAIN/project_1/RC-1 had not existed before you
executed the copy command, you would have acheived what you wanted.
