Well, a ~ in status output means that there's an item of an unexpected
type there. i.e. if doc/app used to be a directory it's now a file,
or vice-versa. One way to fix things would be to remove it (regular
rm, not svn rm) and then run 'svn update' to pull down the old version
of it from the repository.

How did the working copy get in that state in the first place?
