repo copy (svn cp) gives pre-commit "Do not replace a file. This will break the CVS exporter."

[Palle Girgensohn]

Hi Chris,

I did

cd /usr/ports/databases
svn cp postgresql90-server postgresql93-server

and some then another set I'd similar copies. After that I modified the Makefiles and some other stuff. At commit it complained as per subject.
