Missing checks for error diagnostics

Hi,

today I had a strange problem and I assumed an error in Subversion 1.5.2.

I tried to add a directory to my repository which I copied from another
location. svn complained that the directory is already contained in the
repository but it clearly isn't and svn status displays "?" for this
directory.

The reason is indeed simple but could nevertheless be hard to find:
The directory I tried to add contained a subdirectory .svn/ from another
repository.

Could Subversion stop using bogus .svn data or at least print a proper
diagnostics?

Jens
