Depends if the directories are ever intended to be mergable. If they're not, then both options are equivalent.

On the other hand 'svn copy' basically only exists to create tags
and branches anyway. Who ever needs two directories that are
mergeable to each other within a project tree?

It happens.

eg. customer specific modules, one per directory. You'd copy those to keep them mergable and make the customer specific changes - if the base module changes you merge from one to the other.

svn suports this. cvsnt could check that out but couldn't create the copies, or do the merges. IIRC tfs could do it as well.
