Merge-tracking bug

From: Eric Gillespie <epg_at_pretzelnet.org>
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:58:42 -0700

If you do a merge that should Add a file, but you already have
this file unversioned in your working copy (say, because you've
just switched a copy from trunk (which has the file) to your
branch), svn merge Skips it. The Skip notice is lost in the
noise, but worse, the mergeinfo claims the file is there. So,
even after you remove the unversioned file (which you shouldn't
have to do anyway), svn merge still won't pick it up.

Reproduction recipe:

svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk bugwc
cd bugwc
svn sw http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/svnserve-logging
svn st notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt
  ? notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt
svn merge --accept=theirs-full http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk
--- Merging r30413 through r30687 into '.':
U Makefile.in
U www/faq.html
U www/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html
U COMMITTERS
Skipped 'notes/tree-conflicts/policy.txt'
