Yes, when I wrote that I thought the "all" was superflous. So.. this: "Source and destination URLs do not point to the same repository." ... is what he wanted? BOb

Should it be: "Source and destination URLs do not all point to the same repository." ??? Unless they could but "appear" that they don't. That seems strange... either they do or they don't, right? > the "not to all point..." just doesn't sound right. > > This is in libsvn_client/copy.c:822 > > Is it correct?

It's a split infinitive, which doesn't make it necessarily bad English but can make it sound wrong. "Not to point to the same repository" would be more concise and just as precise, in my opinion.
strange error message
Hi, while working on issue #3887 I discovered an error message that doesn't sound right to me, but English is not my native language so I might be wrong: Source and destination URLs appear not to all point to the same repository. the "not to all point..." just doesn't sound right. This is in libsvn_client/copy.c:822 Is it correct? If not, what are your suggestions to improve/correct this?
