Trying to use an unsupported feature
I have a sandbox which is just the trunk, which I try to tag. How can
I do that? I try
svn copy . <repo-url>/tags/<tagname>
This gives
svn: Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: cannot copy path '' into its own child 'https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/playground/tags/another'
I don't think I'm trying to copy a path into its own child here.
But if I do, how can I specify this copy operation?
Regards,
Martin

Yes.

If your working copy is a single revison you could use
svn copy -rN <repo-url>/trunk <repo-url>/tags/<tagname>
If that is not the case you will need to fix issue 1357 :)

Ok, it is now issue 1367.

But wouldn't this tag the HEAD revision of trunk? I want to tag what is
in my sandbox, i.e. the BASE revision.

Use URLs
svn copy <repo-url>/trunk <repo-url>/tags/<tagname>
I suspect most tags are made this way.
