Description

The removal of a directory called "kspread" was (wrongly) committed in revision 
420162. 
 
To try and revert that (the wrong way) I did: 
$ svn mkdir kspread 
$ svn merge -rBASE:PREV kspread 
svn: subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/marshal.c:421: vwrite_tuple: Assertion `opt || 
((rev) >= 0)' failed. 
 
Note that this only happens with ra_svn (using a svn+ssh URL). 
A similar test with a file URL gave: 
 
$ svn merge -rBASE:PREV dir 
svn: File not found: revision 0, path '/trunk/dir'
