Yes, right.

But that's not what I'm complaining about. I also like that it shows which
files it deletes. What I was wondering is why it is able to delete a file
twice.

Your version of the script shows the following output:

status before delete dir

D a/file2.txt
D a/file1.txt
A + b/file2.txt

delete dir

D a/file2.txt
D a/file3.txt
D a/file1.txt
D a

But file1.txt and file2.txt were already deleted so I would not expect
them to show up when deletting the directory.

If I do the same thing with Unix commands i get the following output:

> mkdir a
> touch a/file1.txt a/file2.txt a/file3.txt
> rm -vf a/file1.txt
removed `a/file1.txt'
> rm -vf a/file2.txt
removed `a/file2.txt'
> rm -vrf a
removed `a/file3.txt'
removed directory: `a'

Here the delete of the directory shows only the remaining files, the
deleted files don't show up anymore.

Shouldn't subversion do the same thing ?
