That's just overcomplicating the issue. This doesn't even need to become a tree conflict. There seems to be confusion about what is actually needed to solve the OP's original problem and to make svn switch symmetric. I've attached a simple patch which solves the issue in the method that I proposed. I've tested it manually and it's fine, but I haven't run it through the test suite and haven't covered the directory permission difference case. I'm not sure it is even desirable to check the directory permissions. -- Travis
[[[
If an unversioned directory exists when an versioned directory of the same name
is incoming, don't create a tree conflict. Instead coopt the existing directory
and all the unversioned objects within.
* subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c
(add_directory): Don't consider a pre-existing, unversioned directory a
conflict.
