Probable bug in svn client

From: Aur Saraf <sonoflilit_at_gmail.com>

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:
