Re: Proposal: svn:temporary property

It does not solve the complete problem.
Indeed, my description was a simplified case.

We had the problem that a directory was deleted,
and a new directory having the same name was added.
Because of this, the update failed; the new directory
could not be updated to the wc.

svn must at least rename the old directory to something new.
