Checkout a 1.6 working copy and "rm -rf" a subdir, then upgrade:
svnadmin create repo
svn mkdir -mm file://`pwd`/repo/A
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
rm -rf wc/A
svn-1.7 upgrade wc
svn-1.7 up wc
Updating 'wc':
svn: E235000: In file '../src/subversion/libsvn_wc/update_editor.c' line 1563:
assertion failed (action == svn_wc_conflict_action_edit || action ==
svn_wc_conflict_action_delete || action == svn_wc_conflict_action_replace)
Aborted
Not sure what's wrong, the wc.db looks like:
$ sqlite3 wc/.svn/wc.db "select op_depth, local_relpath, presence from nodes"
0||normal
0|A|incomplete
Perhaps the problem is incomplete children of normal parents? An interrupted
1.7 checkout tends to leave the parent incomplete as well as the child.
