It should.

They don't. But when updating, we don't know whether what happened is
two deletes, or whether this happened:

     % svn move wc1/iota wc1/iota.moved; svn ci
     % svn rm wc2/iota; svn up

Which is definitely a conflict.

The file (or directory) content also needs to be the same for it to
not be a conflict.

For directories, raising a tree conflict is the only option anyway.

What kind of conflict should be raised when files do not have matching
content in this situation is still unclear to me. We should collect the
pros and cons involved in either option and then make a decision.
