SVN crash after manual deleting a "Test"+"Test/.svn" dir -- Was: Why does "svn copy ..." produce a copy as Test/Test ? -...

["C.A.T.Magic" <c....@gmx.at>]

I continued with the following experiments:

mkdir Test
svn add Test
svn commit
# repos revision = 20
svn delete Test
# no commit here, Test still exists in "deleted state"

# now tried to restore the repository to an earlier state
# ( just as an example, i know i could use revert in this special case )
svn cp -r 20 Test .         # '.'
svn: 'Test' is in the way

# i didn't want to do an extra commit of the deleted 'Test'
# so i gave it a brute force delete...
rm -r Test

# and retried to get the revision
svn cp -r 20 Test .         # '.'

# X # instruction at 0x77c42545 referenced mem at loc 0x0, read.
( using the 1.0.0 win32 binaries from subversion website on WindowsXP )


I guess this tells me two things:
- to retreive an older revision I have to delete it from the
server-repository-HEAD first,
  and perform the copy at server side.
- accidentally losing a folder and/or .svn folder will give me a segfault.

Subject: Re: Why does "svn copy -r 28 http://rep/p/Test http://rep/p/Test"
produce a copy as Test/Test ? - but not if Test does not exist or is deleted
from HEAD before?
