The main situation in which it fails 'needlessly' (for some definition of
needless which ignores implementation difficulty) is a rename - when the
filename with one case is being removed, and the same filename in another
case is being added. For this situation, there's no need to fail (only one
of the names existed when we started, and only one exists when we're done).
But svn_wc's intermediate state gets wedged because it tries to create the
new text-base before removing the old one. The situation where the removal
triggers a conflict (and thus didn't remove the original name) is also
problematic.
