Trying to atone for my prior lame "it doesn't work" messages. ;-)

Yep -- you mentioned this before.

Any chance that the error message will be fixed to print the right
directory?

Excellent suggestion; I just did that. Unfortunately, it still doesn't
work -- it both prints out the wrong directory name and bails on the first
"Won't delete..." error. :-(

Just to ensure I was running the right copy:

------
shell$ svn --version
svn, version 1.1.0 (dev build)
    compiled Jun 28 2004, 18:37:20
-----

Here's a simple test case (even with the most recent svn trunk):

------
cd $HOME/checkout_number_1
svn mkdir foo
svn mkdir foo/bar
svn ci -m "waaahoooo!"

cd $HOME/checkout_number_2
svn up
touch foo/bar/baz

cd $HOME/checkout_number_1
svn rm foo
svn ci -m "didn't want it anyway"

cd $HOME/checkout_number_2
svn up
==> error occurs
