There is a problem here. There are two changes to be made to the
parent directory of the missing directory: the revision number is
changed and the missing directory's entry is removed. Making the
changes separately and holding state in memory means that the update
process is vulnerable, if it gets interrupted before
svn_wc__do_update_cleanup runs then the revision number will be
changed but the entry for the missing directory will still be present.
Further attempts to update are likely to fail as the working copy now
has an entry for an item that does not exist.

I still think the correct approach is to make the repository send the
delete for the missing subdirectory. Update reports the missing
directory to the repository, see the reporter->delete_path calls in
libsvn_wc/adm_crawler.c:report_revisions. The repository delta
generator should make better use of this information.
