I've searched the list with 'empty revision' and found this thread:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-08/0091.shtml

In fact, what I see here seems to be a result of issue 2220: "svn propdel
returns success on deleting a non-existent prop". I've tested it also with
deleting a file that's already deleted which also creates an empty revision.

Since the propdel issue is already reported (I don't know about the double
delete issue) this thread can be closed.

regards,

Lieven.
