When you run "cd A/B/X ; svn up" X will get updated to HEAD. If X is no
longer present in HEAD because it has been deleted then the update could
attempt to remove A/B/X from the working copy just like any other
deleted directory. 1.6 doesn't attempt the delete partly because A/B is
not locked.

It also works in 1.6.

When you run "svn up A/X/Y" Y gets locked because it is going to change,
and X gets locked because it was required in 1.6 since deleting Y would
modify X/.svn/entries. 'A' doesn't change so doesn't get locked.

[Although 1.7 currently locks X it's possible that this is simply
inherited from 1.6 and it may be possible to change it in the future.]
