Re: error when upgrading working copy

We might be able to do without. It's unfortunate that the abort message
doesn't give us the filename, if you can run under a debugger the stack
trace would help. Or make your woking copy available to somebody else.

Failing that we have to resort to examining the .svn/entries files
manually--there is one in every directory in a 1.6 working copy. The
upgrade output can help identify which .svn/entries to examine. Given:

Upgrade 'F'
Upgrade 'F/X'
Upgrade 'F/A'
Upgrade 'F/A/P'
Upgrade 'F/A/Y'
Abort

then we know the problem occurred after 'F/A/Y' and is not in any of the
directories in the output. It should be the first of:

  - subdirectories of 'F/A/Y' such as 'F/A/Y/T'

  - subdirectories of 'F/A' such as 'F/A/T'

  - subdirectories of 'F' such as 'F/T'

  - subdirectories of '' such as 'T'

What we want to identify is the .svn/entries files that has a "deleted"
token. You can generally open these files with an editor on Linux but I
don't know which Windows tool to suggest. The token is a line of text
"deleted" (not "delete" which is a separate token that is not
interesting in this case).
