We do have the following problem:
Our development environment creates in our WC a (empty) subdirectory - lets
call it "fast" – which does not need to be under version control (wheras its
parent directories is in svn). Now user A adds this directory it to svn,
whereas user B has an already checked out WC. He also has this directory
"fast" created - but not under svn. User B makes then an update. SVN stops
performing the update when it realizes that B has already the directory
"fast" but not yet under svn (good). Unfortunately, the WC may be afterwards
broken (bad): once it happend to us that an .svn directory was removed.
Example output: This is user B after user A added the directory
".../pro/fast" to svn. In this example, the WC is finally ok. But still the
svn status output is frightening - why does it tell us that the root
directory and the whole path down to "fast" are missing after the failed
update?
