To test whether dealing with the "SVN DELETE" was the problem, I copied
that directory from another computer in 1.6 format, did "SVN DELETE" on
that file, and then updated the format to to 1.7.1. The update happened
w/o error, and the updated directory seems to work fine. So I wasn't able
to repro the problem there.
One difference with the previous test is that for this test, Belarusian was
the root directory (so it keeps its .svn subdirectory). Before, it was a
child of the directory I updated.
