This particular recipe has not been reported, but similar behavior
is known. There is currently no fix for this. A workaround would be
to delete that directory out of your working copy, then updating to
get it back. You could merge up to the revision with _iTools.pas name,
commit, then merge the change to iTools.pas. That should work.
Currently an acceptable design for this type of problem has not
appeared, so it remains unresolved.
