I see the mistake in my thinking now. On the command line:
[~]> svn cp svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svnroot/Project/trunk svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ svnroot/Project/tags/foo you are copying the trunk to a directory in tags named foo. in Versions: > If you drag the trunk folder itself to the tags folder, it should not > create a new /trunk folder under the one you specify as the name for > the tag. you are copying the trunk to the tags directory and will be prompted for a name. I mistakingly created a directory under tags first, then copied (which you can't do). Thanks for the help!
