Maybe it's a task I could try to "attack" on the Hackathon.

I'm not sure what you mean with "independently of their parent directory".

In case of the re-ordered arguments, the revert operation first reverted the added file foo/bar, and then reverted the added and tree-conflicted directory foo. But despite the fact that "--depth=files" was given, the revert did leave the incoming foo/bar marked as deleted, instead of reverting it when reverting foo/.

Here's the example, executing the two revert operations independently, using a copy of the same working copy:
D:\TreeConflict\ef3sok5h.vc4.svnwc>svn status
R C Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager
> local add, incoming add upon update
A Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager\svnobj
Summary of conflicts:
  Tree conflicts: 1

D:\TreeConflict\ef3sok5h.vc4.svnwc>svn revert "Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager\svnobj"
Reverted 'Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager\svnobj'

D:\TreeConflict\ef3sok5h.vc4.svnwc>svn status
R C Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager
> local add, incoming add upon update
D Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager\svnobj
Summary of conflicts:
  Tree conflicts: 1

D:\TreeConflict\ef3sok5h.vc4.svnwc>svn revert --depth=files "Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager"
Reverted 'Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager'

D:\TreeConflict\ef3sok5h.vc4.svnwc>svn status
D Device\Plc Logic\Application\Library Manager\svnobj

Here, I'd expect the second revert operation to recreate the svnobj file.

But maybe this problem is a different problem than the other problem.

Best regards

Markus Schaber
