Quite. It's hard to say exactly what's happening. The relvevant snippet
of code is preceding this is:

   const char *full_path = svn_path_join (pb->edit_baton->anchor_path, path,
                                          pb->pool);
   svn_wc_adm_access_t *adm_access;
   const char *working_mimetype, *pristine_mimetype;
   apr_hash_t *baseprops;

   SVN_ERR (svn_wc_adm_probe_retrieve (&adm_access, pb->edit_baton->anchor,
                                       full_path, pool));
   SVN_ERR (svn_wc_entry (&entry, full_path, adm_access, FALSE, pool));
>>switch (entry->kind)

And, as you point out, entry is NULL. What kind of situation can cause
'svn up -rN' to report a deletion of an entry that doesn't exist, I
wonder? (anyone?)

Carsten: could you confirm:

a. The output of 'svn st'.
b. Whether 'docu' exists and is under version control.

Thanks,
Malcolm
