Heh, even in the long run, I don't see how we could be more
permissive. This is exactly the same problem/reason we don't allow
propchanges on out-of-date directories. Adding/removing items to an
out-of-date directory is just as illegal.

This is the price we pay for allowing mixed-rev working copies.
Mixed-rev working copies are convenient, especially for files, but the
tradeoff is that sometimes you have to bring dirs up-to-date to do
versioning on them. Not a big deal. :-)
