Subversion error copying my plugin for a new release

Hello,

I’m the author of the Editorial Calendar plugin. I’m trying to release a new version which supports WordPress 3.3. I’ve made my coding changes, updated my readme file and I’m ready to tag my code for the final release.

I’m running this command:

svn cp -m “Tagging for version 1.7.” https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/editorial-calendar/trunk/ https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/editorial-calendar/tags/1.7

and getting this response from the server:

svn: PROPFIND of ‘/!svn/vcc/default’: could not connect to server (https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com)

This has been going on since last night. However, I checked my plugin page (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/editorial-calendar) and it looks like the new version is released. This leaves me really confused.

Should I still be tagging for releases like I used to? Is there something wrong with the Subversion server for the plugins? Why did the release go out before I created the tag?

Thanks,
Zack
