I'm trying to hunt down a strange issue where children in directories added during a merge (i.e. copied from another branch) get committed as "replaced" rather than "added".
This happens with a 1.6.x client (server version doesn't matter) and only over http:// (both neon and serf). It's not a presentation-level issue, the committed revision actually has a "replace" action in the FSFS revision file. It is fixed in trunk, but I'd like to get a fix for 1.6.x. This is a really annoying bug because the replacements will spread to other branches and cause all kinds of merging headaches later. Any clues? See recipe below.
