This looks like a serious bug. Basically, 'svn merge' is trying to
apply a diff within a directory that (legitimately) no longer exists
in the wc. This shouldn't be throwing a fatal access-baton-locking
error; instead, it should throw a simple warning and continue on.
It's no worse than when 'patch' complains about failing to apply a
hunk.
Philip, might you be able to look at this? It's probably just a
matter of relaxing our access-baton system a bit in certain places.
