Unable to copy trunk to release

Hi all,

A strange problem appeared (it worked before) for tagging a release now.

When trying to do a URL->URL copy it fails, with the following error: 

copy -rHEAD http://my.forge.com/svn/test/trunk
http://my.forge.com/svn/test/releases/0.5
    RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/test/releases/0.5/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/test/releases/0.5/trunk': 302 Found
(http://my.forge.com)

Any hints would be appreciated.

But it doesn't look like he specified "/trunk" in his (presumably  
svn) copy command.

Can it be that test/releases/0.5 already exists? If that's the case,  
that 0.5 directory will need to be deleted first.

Which of svn/test/releases/0.5/trunk exist in the repository? IIRC, SVN will 
not create parent directories on demand in a copy operation.

Also, the part 'trunk' in your target dir seems suspicious to me: by 
definition, a tag/branch is a copy of the trunk. Assuming your 'release' is 
some kind of tag/branch, the 'trunk' part of the name doesn't make sense.

Just guessing: drop the final /trunk in the target?
