Not on the server side (unless svnserve did it). On the client side
(greux), it is possible that a file from the oldtests directory was
deleted, because I had computation processes working in oldtests at
this time; but such a file wasn't controlled by Subversion and its
name matched one of the svn:ignore patterns (does svn handle this
case?). Also, oldtests is a symlink to a directory in my NFS-mounted
home directory.
