I have a file:/// repository. I have a solution that I am branching HEAD revision. So, it seem that it should be only repository to repository branch. Both the from and to URL indicate file:///. But when I click OK, I get the following:

Copy C:\Dat\Nsg\L\WebSitesMvc\KnockOut1\trunk\MvcApp to file:///C:/Svn/KnockOut1/branches/v1_1/trunk/MvcApp, Revision HEAD
File not found: transaction '14-t', path '/branches/v1_1/trunk/MvcApp'

I am confused? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong. See attached file.

I tried to execute a command line version and it also errored, as follows:

svn copy -r HEAD -m "Branching" file:///C:/Svn/KnockOut1/trunk/MvcApp file:///C:/Svn/KnockOut1/branches/v1_1/trunk/MvcApp

svn: E160013: File not found: transaction '14-u', path '/branches/v1_1/trunk/MvcApp'

Thanks for any help.

I am facing the same/similar issue. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or a bug.

I have recently updated from older SVN client to

TortoiseSVN 1.7.10, Build 23359 - 32 Bit , 2012/10/08 11:46:26
Subversion 1.7.7,
apr 1.4.6
apr-utils 1.3.12
neon 0.29.6
OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012
zlib 1.2.7

Historically, I was successful in creating branch/tag using the older SVN version for other application before I went to upgrade to 1.7.10 a while ago.

you're trying to copy
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT
to
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/branches/jdev11g_release1
which is a subfolder of the one you're trying to copy. That's not possible.

in the 'to path' box, prepend the "branches/jdev11g_release1" with a slash:
"/branches/jdev11g_release1"

Hi:

Thanks Raja & Stefan.

Per my visual, I have a / as the first character and still it failed.

I too have been using 1.6 and recently upgraded at work and home. I thought I would write a talk on TortoiseSVN. I was planning on giving the talk in 8 days to http://www.computersociety.org/, but I am afraid it is not going to happen.

what's your repository root url and what is your working copy rooted
at (path and url) ?

Phil: you're situation looks like a problem that's been solved with issue #405:

You won't see that change until 1.8 is released, so in the meantime
all you need to do is create the intermediate folder manually.

Even after putting a slash '/' in the beginning didn't resolve the issue. Please find the attached screen shot. What I can understand is that even though I append a slash, it is still treating it as a sub-folder as per your comments and my understanding.

I am also suspecting the way the source code is configured. The current SVN URL is: http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/
while I suspect, it must have been
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/trunk.
That way when I create a branch URL it must look something like:
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/branches/jdev11g_release1
to work.
Let me know if my suspicion is correct so that now I need to first change the current URL to have /trunk and go ahead creating branches?

If the url shown in the "From WC / URL:" is not the correct one, then
either the log cache is corrupted or your working copy is.
First try clearing the log cache:
settings->saved data->log -> click the clear button.

if that doesn't work, then I suspect your working copy is corrupted.

My suspicion was correct. The original project was configured http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/. However, I made changes such to have
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/trunk.

After the above modification I am now able to create branches. Current status is that I have created the branch successfully. Following is the URL:
http://svn.ssqt.codex.xerox.com/svnroot/SSQT/branches/jdev11g_release1.

This issue is closed from my end.

Hi Simon:

One can Ctrl and drag to branch.
