I have followed the procedure outlined by the submitter as closely as
possible, and coded a reproduction script.
No data loss occurs for me - at the point where the sumitter writes "all of
dir c, including the local modifications got erased", what happens to me is:
any files within dir c which contain local modifications are left on disc as
unversioned files.
It is true that in such a state, the local mods are no longer in a
version-controlled file, and so 'svn diff' will not display them - however,
they remain present, and data is not lost.
