No, I'm not sure that does make sense. "Target", to the command-line
user, means the object "" to which the "update" command was applied.
This directory certainly exists on disk, and it is also known to
Subversion. "Target" in this error message, however, I think means the
target of some repository-side operation. I haven't time to investigate
now, but I suspect this is a symptom of something wrong in our code.

For clarity: it says that D1 becomes tree-conflicted by this attempt to
delete it. Yes?

I would describe it as: if we are within "D1" then we can't raise a tree
conflict on D1 because we don't allow ourselves to gain write access to
its parent in this situation.

Does that make sense?
