It's file replaced by directory:

svnadmin create repo --compatible-version 1.7
svn import -mm repo/format file://`pwd`/repo/A/f
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
svn rm wc/A/f
svn mkdir wc/A/f
svn rm wc/A/f

with 1.8 the last rm succeeds, with 1.7 the last rm fails unless --force
is used:

svn: E195006: Use --force to override this restriction (local modifications may be lost)
svn: E195006: '/tmp/wc/A/f' has local modifications -- commit or revert them first

Some things still cause 1.8 to require force: setting properties on the
directory or children, adding file children.
