svn copy (1/2)

svn copy provides for the case when you want to “fork” a file (e.g. a library has gotten too big and you want to split it up into several .c files)
Standard usage: svn copy <old_file> <new_file>
Note that you need to commit to make the repository notice the copy: svn cp freeform.txt iambic-pentametre.txt svn commit \ -m 'going to rework freeform poem in proper metre' \ freeform.txt iambic-pentametre.txt
