Julian (and/or any other TCers),

I've got this test working, but I'm wondering about a slightly
different case than the one covered in the test.

What if, instead of having a modification directly to the directory
that the update will attempt to delete, we instead have a local mod
only to a subtree of that directory? For example, say we start with
this vanilla Greek WC:

    issue3334.dgb>svn st -v
                     1 1 jrandom .
                     1 1 jrandom A
                     1 1 jrandom A\B
                     1 1 jrandom A\B\lambda
                     1 1 jrandom A\B\E
                     1 1 jrandom A\B\E\alpha
                     1 1 jrandom A\B\E\beta
                     1 1 jrandom A\B\F
                     1 1 jrandom A\mu
                     1 1 jrandom A\C
                     1 1 jrandom A\D
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\gamma
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\G
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\G\pi
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\G\rho
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\G\tau
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\H
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\H\chi
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\H\omega
                     1 1 jrandom A\D\H\psi
                     1 1 jrandom iota

Then we delete 'A' directly in the repos:

    issue3334.dgb>svn del %url53%/A -m ""

    Committed revision 2.

Then we make a text mod in our WC to a subtree of 'A':

    issue3334.dgb>echo new content > A\D\G\pi

    issue3334.dgb>svn up
       C A
    At revision 2.
    Summary of conflicts:
      Tree conflicts: 1

Ok, the tree conflict is correct, but what should be scheduled for
addition? Should the entire subtree rooted at 'A' be schedule for
addition as a copy from A_at_1?

    issue3334.dgb>svn st -v
                 2 2 pburba .
    A + C - 1 jrandom A
> local edit, incoming delete upon update
       + - 1 jrandom A\B
       + - 1 jrandom A\B\lambda
       + - 1 jrandom A\B\E
       + - 1 jrandom A\B\E\alpha
       + - 1 jrandom A\B\E\beta
       + - 1 jrandom A\B\F
       + - 1 jrandom A\mu
       + - 1 jrandom A\C
       + - 1 jrandom A\D
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\gamma
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\G
    M + - 1 jrandom A\D\G\pi
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\G\rho
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\G\tau
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\H
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\H\chi
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\H\omega
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\H\psi
                     2 1 jrandom iota

*OR* should only the modified subtree 'A/D/G/pi' and its path-wise
ancestors be present?

    issue3334.dgb>svn st -v
                 2 2 pburba .
    A + C - 1 jrandom A
> local edit, incoming delete upon update
       + - 1 jrandom A\D
       + - 1 jrandom A\D\G
    M + - 1 jrandom A\D\G\pi

                     2 1 jrandom iota

I've got the former working*, but I wonder if the latter is not
actually the correct behavior.

Opinions appreciated,

Paul

* Though not quite ready as several update and switch tests are now failing.
