'schedule="delete"' indicates that an existing item will be deleted at
the next commit, think 'svn rm wc/foo'.

'schedule="add"' indicates that a new item will be added at the next
commit, think 'svn add wc/foo'.

'schedule="replace"' indicates both of the above, think 'svn rm wc/foo'
followed by 'svn add wc/foo'.

'deleted="true"' indicates that the entry was scheduled for deletion
and subsequently committed, but that the parent directory has not been
updated and so is at a revision that would otherwise contain the
deleted item, think 'svn rm wc/foo' followed by 'svn ci wc'

'absent="true"' indicates that mod_authz_svn doesn't allow read access
to that item so it's not physically present in the working copy.

Your change looks correct to me.

Not a bug. If the item is 'deleted="true"' the delete has already
been committed, so that item can't be 'schedule="delete"' as it no
longer exists, and so 'schedule="replace"' cannot happen.

That bit of code was the subject of much discussion when written and
it's still one of the hairy bits of libsvn_wc. I think it relies on
the 'incomplete="true"' processing to make it robust in the face of an
interrupted update, but I would not like to say for certain that it
always works.
