bug: svn, version 0.14.5 (r3566)

[Petr Sebor <pe...@scssoft.com>]

This gave me quite a bit of headache:
lets say I am having a directory structure like that:

src/
src/misc/
src/misc/foo.c
src/misc/bar.c
src/temp/
src/temp/yada.c
src/temp/nada.c
src/work/
src/work/oholic.c
src/work/less.c

now... if I want to delete the src/misc dir, I would normally use
the svn rm misc (from the src directory).. now let's say I am a bonehead
and delete the directory from the shell... 'rm -rf misc' and suddenly 
realize
that I had to do it through svn... ok, let's do the 'svn rm misc' but wtf!
this command will delete eveything in the src directory :-) I ignores
the fact 'misc' is already gone and behaves like 'svn rm *'

This 'works' that way both with linux & win32 clients... I know, it is 
my fault,
I should be using svn properly, but ... it happens :-)

Latest 'successful' test made on:
svn, version 0.14.5 (r3566)
   compiled Nov  3 2002, 16:48:09

Regards,
Petr

There's possibly a related problem.  If the user runs update it will
normally restore a missing directory.  Now what if the missing
directory is scheduled for deletion, does update still restore it, and
if so does it get restored with the correct scheduling?

Yeah, this is a real reproducible bug, it needs to be filed.

The correct behavior, I guess, is to simply schedule the 'misc' dir
for deletion in the parent entry.  We do that anyway.
