Hi, Thanks for your response. But I'm trying to copy the contents from one directory to another new directory within one repository itself like below: svn copy <repo_root>/dir/subdir1 <repo_root>/dir/subdir2
The interesting part is that if I omit the -m option, svn automatically opens up the editor and waits for the log message. if I put the message there and close the editor window, it completes the copy operation without any error. It complains if the message text is supplied on the command line with -m option. Thanks!
