what does svn copy URL->WC do?

Why would one do svn copy URL -> WC? Does it get the file开发者_C百科 in readonly mode? or it is same as checkout? I had checked out a branch. I deleted one directory under branch (name is dummy). Then I tried svn copy URL(of dummy) .(current dir). I got the message '.' is locked. Why is it so?

URL -> WC

Check out URL into WC, and schedule it for addition.
