Re: "svn revert" corrupts working copy

In this case it's 'svn cleanup' after removing the obstruction.

I suppose Subversion could check for such obstructions before creating
the workqueue item and fail with some sort of "cannot revert" error.
Any check like that would have to happen after the outcome of earlier
reverts is known:

  svn revert wc/dir wc/dir/file

if the revert of wc/dir is successful then any obstruction of wc/dir has
been removed by the time we attempt to revert wc/dir/file.
