Delete cmd doesn't work on a repository URL

[davemerrill]

(Thank you for this!)

I'm working on an Ant script that among other things creates an SVN tag from the current trunk. In case that's already been done, I want to delete the tag first if it exists, but it always gives the error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect". If it exists, it was created by svntask, and I'm passing the same ${releaseTagUrl} Ant property to the delete cmd that I passed to the copy cmd to create it.

Is this intended to work on repository URLs? Would be super handy if it did.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro, using svntask-1.8-1.1.1, running the build inside IntelliJ IDEA,

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
