RE: Unversioned files in working copies

Ben, others,

I've seen this before. However, I'm not sure the error messages were the
same. It's been some time ago.

The scenario, more or less, is this: there are at least two working copies
involved here...
WC1 and 2 are both up to date at some revision X.
WC1 removes (or moves, which is a cp + rm!) a subdirectory and commits it.
WC2 has changes in that removed directory. Now if WC2 tries to update you
are in trouble. It can't (or won't) delete it, because there are changes in
it. It can't update it, because it doesn't exist. It can't commit, because
its gone.
