Question: I am trying to create a branch/tag from TortoiseSVN. After I click on OK, it transfers 0 Bytes/second and it takes around 15 mins and then comes back with an error 

```
"Copy C:\MyRepository to https://example.com/svn/svn_repository/tags/release_1.0, Revision HEAD"
"Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection"
"Completed"

```

SVN version : 1.8.8, TortoiseSVN version : 1.9.4, SVN is setup with apache

I am able to SVN commit and update and do everything else in the repository except creating a release using branch/tag option. 

apache error log : 

```
[Fri Jun 09 06:58:37.301131 2017] [access_compat:error] [pid 29848] [client my_ip:61199] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: svn:path_to_my_repository_in_server

[Fri Jun 09 06:59:08.220708 2017] [access_compat:error] [pid 3480] [client my_ip:61375] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: svn:path_to_my_repository_in_server/tags/release_1.0

```

Can anyone please help.

Answer: 
Issue solved. The problem was not with the repository configuration but the way I created the branch/tag for the repository. There was a .svn folder inside the folder I was trying to create a branch/tag of and it was refusing the connection. But once I went inside that folder and had my .svn file outside it was able to create the branch/tag.
@Supersonic it looks like you don't have permission to create branch/tag on SVN, you just have read/write access on that branch/trunk.talk to your SVN administrator, ask to check SVN apache configuration.
