Re: directory named "_svn" is ignored

Maybe I overlooked something, but from my point of view, the following thing
should happen after issueing "svn up SOME_DIR":

 1) check if SOME_DIR contains a subdirectory called ".svn" resp. "_svn"

 2a) if (1) succeeded, then SOME_DIR is a valid directory

 2b) if (1) fails, then check if the last part of SOME_DIR is ".svn" or "_svn" -
in this case, obviously the user wanted to ask for the parent directory of
SOME_DIR (e.g. issuing "svn up foo/.svn" instead of "svn up foo")

If I don't get it wrong, then the current behaviour is:
 start with (2)
 continue with (1)
The opposite order should be correct, I would say.

In my case, the directory called "_svn" is the root directory of my local
working copy - thus there is no conflict here.

I do not see a scenario, where a reversed order of checks (as described above)
could cause a conflict with the SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK.
Or am I missing something?

regards,
Lars
