Both of these replies say he should have 'reverted' the addition
(instead of 'svn rm --force') before attempting to re-add the file.
But from day one, we've always treated 'svn rm --force' as an
"undoing" of a scheduled addition. If I run

touch foo
svn add foo
svn rm --force foo
touch foo
svn add foo

...it all just works. It seems that things *don't* work if the
scheduled addition is add-with-history. We should fix that. It's
inconsistent.
