Re: serious bug: a succession of "svn up" can yield a working copy with local changes

Sorry, it was more complex. It was something like that:

[Directory tex]
$ cp <the_file_in_question> lplain.bst
$ svn add lplain.bst
$ svn ps svn:keywords "Id Date" lplain.bst
$ svn ci

Later I did a commit where I added a directory ensl/these, and in
particular, a svn cp, as the log shows:

Before doing this commit, I removed the svn:keywords property on
ensl/these/lplain.bst (with "svn pdel"), and I modified the file
so that it was saying

$Id: lplain.bst,v 4.0 2000/01/31 18:11:53 vlefevre Exp $

but I hit a Subversion bug: the property wasn't removed (with a
possibly inconsistency between the working copy and the repository).
I really removed the property in r1953.
