Ok, I have been having trouble with the "undelete" method that is described
in the documentation, and I'm beginning to thing it may be some sort of bug.
I was attempting to do a "svn copy" to restore a previously deleted
directory to my working copy which, according to the documentation, is
supposed to also mark it for addition, keeping the history intact. I had
been fighting and researching the error for several hours and, on a hunch,
tried it on an earlier revision, and was able to "undelete" or bring back
the directory. The *only* difference between the working revision, and the
non-working revision, is that the directory had been moved to a different
location in the repository using "svn move". So, my question is, if a
directory is moved to a different location in the repository, then deleted,
do you lose the ability to "undelete" it???
The following test describes the problem I'm having a-bit better. I'm using
Apache 2.0 w/htaccess & svn 1.0.2 server on slackware and 1.0.2 client on
both win32 and slackware, same results with both clients. FYI,
"~/svncode/webcode/mm.com" is the top level of my working copy.

-----------------------------------
Notice, that the testdir directory does, in fact, get re-created, but the
testfile.txt file does not. I've tried checking out a clean copy, same
results.
If someone could confirm this behavior so I can submit a bug report, I would
greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, if I'm doing something wrong, someone
please point out my stupid error and I'll be happy.. :)
