Yes, this is issue #3334 for directories.

Yes, this so far is exactly what we want. (It doesn't delete the rest of
the stuff in the folder, because we want to leave the user with a single
self-consistent version of the folder - in this case, the "mine" copy -
so as not to make the state of this sub-tree more complex than it need
be.)

This was a correct expectation on your part, but the WC metadata was
left in an inconsistent state when the conflict was raised: the base
revision was updated to "6" but the entry was not marked as "deleted"
and still had all its text bases and other stuff. Then "revert" reverted
to the text-bases, and "update" thought there was nothing to do because
it based its decision on the rev-number.

Yup. Thanks for sharing the scenario.

I'm struggling to understand exactly how to manipulate the WC metadata
but getting somewhere.
