No. 'subdir1' was completely up-to-date with respect to the head. So why
does it show up as being scheduled for deletion? What would happen if I had
actually done a commit?

While that makes sense, from an intuitive sense. The original svn up -r
left me with a mixed working copy. I guess that because it is not a branch,
'svn status' will still report status relative to the head. On the other
hand, it seemed to make sense that I should be able to "undo" what I had
just done by doing an 'update' back to the head revision since I didn't
actually have something locally modified. Does that make sense? Maybe that
argument falls apart when the directory in question didn't exist in that
revision? I'm just trying to get my head around how it is intended to
behave.
