SVN copy between URL's fails

Question

I am trying to create a tag on SVN 1.7 .

While trying: svn copy svn://svn-rep.domain/dev/trunk svn://svn-rep.domain/dev/tags/product

I get the following error: svn: E205007: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options svn: E205007: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found

And when adding a message: svn copy svn://svn-rep.domain/dev/trunk svn://svn-rep.domain/dev/tags/product -m 'message'

I get this error: svn: E205009: Local, non-commit operations do not take a log message or revision properties

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Well, the only thing to do for it to work is to change the (') around the message to (").

And to think that kept me busy for so long...
