My guess:

The Makefile.am that existed in revision 2785 is not the same as the new
file named Makefile.am. They have the same name, but Subversion is smart
enough to know that they are in fact different files with different
ancestry.

Why did this part happen:

> A file was removed
> An identical file was added

? What was the user trying to do?
