Probable bug in svn client
Hello,
I think I have stumbled upon a bug in the SVN client.
The bug is described in this chat log of #svn:
http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/svn?date=2008-03-19,Wed&sel=396#l711
Basically:
repo structure:
trunk
trunk/dir
working copy:
$ ls -a .
.svn dir
$ ls -a dir
.svn
$ svn status
? dir
# that is, dir is itself a checkout of trunk/dir, unrelated to the
checkout of trunk into . that happened before dir was added to the
repo
$ svn add dir
bork bork bork dir already in repo
$ svn revert dir
$ mv dir dir.moved
$ svn update
bork bork bork dir already scheduled for addition
# but it isn't! I reverted it! and there isn't even a directory ./dir anymore!
$ svn status
? dir.moved
This is not reproduction of the bug on a shell, just writing from the
top of my head. I might have missed something. If you think this is
really a bug, I can send a long transcript of my shell session, as
well as the content of ./.svn (or did I forget to back those up before
I did the workaround that worked? damn, think I did...)
Oh, of course:

"First sight" for me includes searching the source code for the exact
text of error messages, among other things.
(My first instinct is "this is yet another bug caused by our wc
design, and I'd rather put the effort into centralizing wc metadata
than fixing yet another bug in the current implementation".)

Does it look like a bug at first sight? Developers would be far better
at that kind of guess than newbie users, and it would probably take me
hours to research a recipe, so I'd want such a first opinion before I
try to reproduce it...

If you're interested in more investigation of this bug, a full
reproduction recipe would be helpful.
