So, the 1-line file is being replaced with a 0-line (empty) file. Is
that what the following line does?

  svntest.main.run_svn(None, 'cp', mu_path, iota_path)

It looks like that diff is broken. Shouldn't it include "+This is the
file 'mu'." ?

That flagged a tree conflict? Then it should say so, and not say just
"skipped" without saying why.

OK, so it did flag a tree conflict. (I think it's OK that we report
"local delete" and not "local replacement".)

That's good in that it flagged the conflict, but bad in that it does not
update the base-revision, as shown by the "1" instead of "2" there.

And we haven't applied the incoming change to the text-base. Oops.
(Being a replacement, the text-base we're talking about is the one
called "revert-base".)

Yes, of course. That is both good and consistent with the behaviour that
we're getting (trying to get) in the other issue-3334 and similar cases,
is it not?
