-------------------------------------
Summary: Misleading error from "svn copy" if parent path of the
target does not exist
Key: SVN-4646
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4646
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.9.4
Environment: CentOS 6.7
Reporter: Douglas Robinson
The issue is when create copy/branch/tag from a local working copy path using
"{{svn copy}}", if the parent path of the copying target does not exist, the
"{{svn copy}}" command fails with a misleading error message saying that the
copy source (working copy directory) "is out of date" while that is not the
case.
+The reproduce case (both client and server at 1.9.4)+:

Repository Root: http://192.168.56.202:8081/svn/repo05

The error message certainly confuses the issue.
