Hi,
I'm writing about the below issue here after not getting any
particular response about the root cause of it on dev forum.
I'm trying to do a SVN copy, using URL, the contents from one
directory to another new directory within one repository with the
following syntax:
svn copy <repo_root>/dir/subdir1 <repo_root>/dir/subdir2 -m
"message
text"
But I am getting the following error:
svn: E205009: Local, non-commit operations do not take a log
message
or revision properties.
I couldn't understand the error message. It seems to be
contradictory
to the functionality svn copy using url provides. The svn copy
using
url apparently does a remote copy in the repository with a
commit.
Can you show the actual URLs? Or at least, most of it but maybe
with the domain name replaced by "example.com" if you need
privacy? It would help to see the schema and structure of the
URLs you are using here.
Best regards,

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.
Could you please shed some light on what the actual issue is? and
what would be the solution for this?
P.S: I'm using svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) on aix 7.1.
Thanks!

Hello,
My guess is that you are trying to copy from one repository
into
a
different repository.
But the svn copy <src url> <dst url> -m 'info message' is
designed to
copy files in the same repo, as the help states:
URL -> URL: complete server-side copy; used to branch and
tag
to copy files from one repo into another try downloading them
first and
then import them using "svn import".
If you are doing an server side copy, than your syntax
"should"
work.
Best regards,
