Philip, you are the undisputed master of libsvn_wc. You understand
directory versioning better than I do. :-)

In your example above, I was originally thinking that the final
removal commit would fail... but I remembering the old days, when the
commit would have started by creating a txn based on rev 1 (since foo
is at rev 1 in the wc).

But you're right... these days both RA layers always build a commit
txn based on HEAD, so your example works fine. The final removal
would end up leaving a "deleted" bar1 entry within foo/.svn/entries.

I'm not sure I understand your status display proposal. Consider that
if I commit a single file in my wc, then *every* directory will be
displayed as out-of-date. Or do you have something else in mind?

Ah, maybe you mean whether a directory is *truly* out of date, as in,
dir_delta would actually attempt to open it during an update. Hmmm,
yeah.
