We've had this happen only once in our repositories. Our server is running
v1.5.1, almost all the clients are either TSVN 1.5.x or Subclipse 1.4.x. I'm
running 1.6.x versions of all clients.

As far was I can find out, what happened was as follows:

a. I deleted two files from my WC and committed (using a 1.6.x client).
b. Another user deleted the same two files from their WC and committed
(using a 1.5.x client).

Now, usually, at point 'b', I would have expected a "Working copy is out of
date" error, and they should have updated, but apparently they didn't - the
commit just went through.

Cheers,
Daniel B.
