Sorry to noisy the list - the above is probably correct if you insert a
commit between 2) and 3). The exact scenario seems to be closer to:

This seems like it may be even more likely to happen on accident in
regular work flows (although not more likely than directory removals of
directories that have svn:ignore'd content of course).
