Re: bug? svn add commited by another breaks working copy?

The server is trying to send changes to the working copy, and there's an
unversioned file in the way. The problem is that update just isn't
smart enough to realize that the blocking-file just happens to be
identical to the one it's trying to add from the server.

In the case of file edits, 'svn update' notices that local edits just
happen to match the incoming edits from the server, and assumes that the
"patch is already applied" and silently merges. But when 'svn update'
receives a tree-structure change (such as an add), it's not yet smart
enough to notice that a silent merge is possible.

This issue is definitely filed already, it's issue 563, as old as the hills:

Wanna fix it? :-)
