Futher calls of "cp -r src dest" do not result in a error message and anything in src will be copied to dest/src all the time. > And there is no special treatment for branches/ or tags/, they're > just like any other directory, even though they probably have > special meaning to most users. > > Michael Yes, the trunk/tags/branches is logical concept. To avoid changes of existing tags I'll use "svn info" to check if my destination tag directory exists and abort if it does, otherwise i do the the svn copy. Cheers Michael
