Why does "update" treat an obstruction differently if adding without history?

Can anyone explain this special handling of items scheduled for addition
*without history*, in "svn update"'s "add file" code path?

It seems to me that if a file to be added is obstructed by a file on
disk, it wouldn't matter whether it's being added with or without
history.

subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c

('kind' is the on-disk node kind.)
