I don't want to discourage you, but this is just one *tiny* little
aspect of the complex behaviors of libsvn_wc. There are dozens and
dozens of complicated bookkeeping edge-cases like this, and they're all
covered by our python automated test suite.

This is reason we've been telling people for years that it would be
essentially impossible to reimplement Subversion from scratch in Java
(or other languages). It took us *years* to find all of these
edge-cases. I certainly admire your effort and resolve... but be
prepared for a very long road to compatibility and proper WC behavior.
