Agreed :)

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/.

It is possible that what you are seeing is correct behaviour.
As given your example is a bit hard to follow because there are
multi-layer operations involved. I am not sure how to interpret the
replacement. What did the directory look like before it was replaced?
Is this during merge or update?
Can you describe in detail how the tree conflict came about?
