Now I'm worried that r12006 doesn't fix the problem it's supposed to
fix. Consider the following (I'm using a schedule add file because we
don't have items with suitable names in the Subversion repo):
$ svn co https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools qq
$ touch qq/random-commits.py
$ svn add qq/random-commits.py
$ svn sw https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.1.x/tools/dev qq/dev
U qq/dev/verify-history.py
U qq/dev/scramble-tree.py
U qq/dev/stress.pl
D qq/dev/lock-check.py
D qq/dev/po-merge.py
../svn/subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:179: (apr_err=200005)
svn: 'qq/gnuify-changelog.pl' is not under version control
It's hit my new check on gnuify-changelog.pl and that's good,
previously it would have written a spurious file in qq/.svn/wcprops.
However it didn't stop on random-commits.py because a suitable
versioned item exists, so that file has switched wcprops even though
it didn't get switched:
$ cat qq/.svn/wcprops/random-commits.py.svn-work
K 25
svn:wc:ra_dav:version-url
V 64
/repos/svn/!svn/ver/12140/branches/1.1.x/tools/random-commits.py
END
That might be harmless for this schedule add file, but if that were a
committed file things would fall over.
