When I tried to copy the common trunks dir into a branches, its failing.
I guess cp does not work with externals?
[starksm@succubus obr]$ svn cp
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/common/trunks/https://svn.jboss.org/repos/common/branches/2_0
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/common/!svn/bc/2381/branches'
svn: '/repos/common/!svn/bc/2381/branches' path not found
