What would be less confusing?
"Sorry, you attempted to commit '/project/subdir1', but failed,
because it is out-of-date."
Is it the word "transaction" that is confusing?
Because otherwise, the message already says that
1) the commit failed
2) /project/subdir1 was out-of-date
3) the commit message was left in a tmpfile

This is a buglet that I believe we're working on. Fortunately, your
analysis of the problem was completely wrong. The metadata *was*
tracked correctly in your working copy. The files were definitely
gone already, and subdir1 definitely knew this information.
The "D" actions you see were simply no-ops. The bug here is that
subdir1 didn't correctly report its state to the server, so the server
sent redundant commands that did nothing.
Don't worry, this will be fixed.
