Did he rename any file?

You have to be carefull to "svn co" the revision the work is based on.
If other developers commited since he started working, you have to
merge their work with his.

Why "svn delele + svn add"? If they are the same files, the file is
not deleted and re-added, it's just modified. Modify your local copy,
check with status/diff, and commit.

More precisely, if no renaming is involved, I'd do

$ svn co -r <base revision for developer's work> ... dir/
$ cd dir/
$ cp -r /path/to/other/dev/work/* ./
$ svn update
$ svn status
$ svn diff
$ svn commit

If files need to be renamed, you need to do that manually with "svn
mv". If the developer added or deleted files, you need to say that
explicitely too.
