Hi all
Not sure if this is a bug or not.
Doing a svn copy twice to same destination, does create an unexpected
subfolder in destination.
1) first step
(The tags folder exists and is empty)
svn copy file:///D:/tmp/myrepo/trunk file:///D:/tmp/myrepo/tags/v1 -m
"this is v1"
What we see:
- v1 is created in tags by this command
- v1 contains a copy of trunk after this command
- All ok until now.
2) second step
Issuing the same command once more, I would expect an error saying the
destination folder ('v1') already exists. But this is not the case, the
command ends normally.
svn copy file:///D:/tmp/myrepo/trunk file:///D:/tmp/myrepo/tags/v1 -m
"Redoing the tag v1, without deleting the tag before."
What we see:
In the tags/v1 subfolder a new folder is created by this command, named
‘trunk’ which contains a copy of the trunk. URL of new folder:
/tags/v1/trunk
If I issue the command once more, the command fails with E160020 (with
text Path file:///D:/....v1/trunk already exists)
Why does the svn copy command not fail at step 2?
Subversion 1.12.2 running here
Thank you for your time!
Best regards
Roger
