Even worse. From a mortal's point of view, the contents of the newly
created foo/foobar.txt may in fact have come directly from
bar/barfoo.txt with associated ancestry through perfectly normal mortal
means of duplicating contents (cut/paste, etc.). However, if you don't
go through the proper steps of subversions's required procedure,
subversion doesn't know this.
