Force copy?

["Daniell, Casey B" <Ca...@reyrey.com>]

Ok, I am scripting out a process that will tag (copy in SVN terms) a
repository as part of a build. Occasionally, the build will fail for one
reason or another and the copy needs to be done again (overwriting the
existing items.) 
 
Is there a way to do this? I don't see a switch that will allow me to
tell copy to do this no matter what? Ideas?

Well, um, yes. First 'svn rm' and then 'svn cp'. If you do this within a WC, 
you should be able to do it in one transaction. Else, it will take two 
transactions and the tag will be temporarily vanished...

It's ugly, but it works.

Are you creating a branch as part of the build procecure? Simply build a new branch or tag.

You could alternatively do an "svn revert branch@revision number; svn revert", right?
