SVN Copying a trunk to a branch, copying a folder for trunk lines too?

Question

I use the following code to copy a trunk to a branch:

svn copy svn://web/path/to/trunk \svn://web/path/to/branches/dev -m "Creating a dev branch of trunk"

It seemed to work fine, except that he moved the folder with it. For instance:

trunk / somefile.html was copied to the /dev/trunk/somefile.html branches

This is normal? I suppose this should not be so, and I would like to know how to correctly copy the branch.

Thank.

Answer 1

I suppose you created a branch (basically a folder) named dev under the branches? If you do this, it will copy the chest under dev. If dev did not already exist, it would look like a folder with a trunk that was copied as a dev folder, as you would expect.
