Copy over an existing node

[Harold Putman]

I want to copy a source node over a destination node that already exists.

If I just do

workspace.copy(sourcePath, targetPath);

I get an ItemExistsException.

I was hoping to create a new version by

VersionManager vm = workspace.getVersionManager();

vm.checkout(targetPath);

workspace.copy(sourcePath, targetPath);

vm.checkin(targetPath);

but still I get a ItemExistsException.


What is the right way to do this?
