It's actually the Subversion libraries doing this. I just tested using
svn 1.4.0 on my command-line and got the following results:
svn rm <filename> - file doesn't appear in the listing from dir
svn rm <directory> - directory appears in the parent directory's
listing using dir
I have a guess as to why this is, but it's pretty weak so I'm not
going to throw it out here just yet.
But it's not a TSVN issue, it's core Subversion behavior.
