svnadmin create repo
svn -mm mkdir file://`pwd`/repo/A
svn -mm cp file://`pwd`/repo/A ^/B
svn -mm mkdir file://`pwd`/repo/B/X
svn co file://`pwd`/repo/B wc
touch wc/X/f # an unversioned file

Switch can't remove wc/X because wc/X/f exists:

svn sw ^/A wc
svn st wc
? wc/X

The unversioned wc/X will cause a conflict when switching back:

svn sw ^/B wc --accept postpone
svn st wc
D C wc/X
> local dir unversioned, incoming dir add upon switch
? wc/X/f
Summary of conflicts:
  Tree conflicts: 1

The conflict can be resolved by reverting the delete:

svn revert -R wc/X
svn st wc
? wc/X/f

The original unversioned wc/X/f has been preserved across both switches.
