title: How do we duplicate a folder on tortoisesvn
body: <p>I'd basically like to duplicate a folder on my svn branch.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I'm never able to perform it without tortoise thinks this is the same previous folder (so it never wants to add that folder and recognize it as a brand new folder to version).</p>
  
  <p>What I've tried so far is (among tricky procedures):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>copy and paste the folder</li>
  <li>rename it with windows</li>
  <li>add to ignore list</li>
  <li>clean up</li>
  <li>add</li>
  <li>commit (and nothing to declare)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I also tried to copy that folder into a non-versioned folder, clean it up, and then copy it back to that folder, add it, commit (nothing to declare).</p>
  
  <p>Though that first looked a very easy straightforward task to do now I'm only getting mad and mad and have a lot of "ghost" commitment every where in my repository log.</p>
  
  <p>Any help?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
