I disagree with "we have SUBDIR at r10". We expect SUBDIR at r9 but the SUBDIR is not-present, its revision doesn't have a meaning. > By r23, it is possible for SUBDIR to return. > > If the parent is updated to r10, then the not-present SUBDIR can be > removed because d...@10 does not list SUBDIR as a child. I think not-present nodes get removed on update irrespective of revision. > The revision is quite necessary. All that you have written just requires SUBDIR not-present, it doesn't require r10. Suppose the commit that deletes SUBDIR is r11 and the parent is r9. When the parent gets updated, be it to r9, r10, r11 or r12 the not-present node gets removed (and possibly replaced by a normal node). The r11 revision doesn't matter. > This post-commit bumping of the SUBDIR revision and marking it as > not-present is part of the commit processing.

As part of the move to a singe db we have to make "ordinary" directory deletion work without using the .svn directory in the deleted directory. We might take advantage of the single db to do this. When ordinary deletion works the special case code can simply be deleted. Removing the special case code before single db might be more complicated, or it might be a step along the way. It depends on the details of the implementation. -- Philip
