I could be wrong here, but I think the creation of the files subdir is a
change on the parent dir Proj1, so you have to update Proj1 at least to
the rev where the files subdir was created. If that means pulling in
changes to other files in Proj1 or other subdirs of Proj1, you're out of
luck.
But I am by no means an expert...
