Update failure after removing obstructing item

it really did go through without me noticing]

Hi,

After investigating some problems we've had with svn, I have made a recipe
that reproduces at least one of them:

# Create repos and trunk
svnadmin create /repos
svn mkdir file:///repos/trunk -m ""
svn mkdir file:///repos/trunk/test -m ""
# User 1
svn checkout file:///repos/trunk trunk1
# User 2
svn checkout file:///repos/trunk trunk2

# User 1 adds a file
echo "" > trunk1/test/test.txt
svn add trunk1/test/test.txt
svn commit trunk1 -m ""

# User 2 adds an obstruting file to his wc
cd trunk2
echo "" > test/test.txt
# Try to update (which correctly fails)
svn update test
# So remove the obstructing file and retry
rm test/test.txt
svn update test

Which fails with:

svn: Obstructed update
svn: failed to add directory 'test': object of the same name already exists

Running "svn update ." succeeds though.

We're using svn 0.32.1 and MS Windows.

Cheers,

Michael Grundberg
