no, the bug is that svn up succeeds. it should have failed even though
'added' was moved. you should be required to do an 'svn revert added'
here before you can update. svn has no way to know that you moved
'added', so it shouldn't write the new file in it's place. debatably,
it should see that 'added' is no longer there, and get rid of the entry
for 'added' in the .svn/entries file, but it seems more consistent for
it to just error out until you resolve the situation in a way that
allows svn to know you've resolved it.

oh, i agree it's a problem, but at this point we're just arguing about
where the problem is ;-) the issue (in my opinion) is that moving the
file aside should not have been enough to let 'svn up' complete.
