Description

The following recipe causes an unversioned directory to stay in the working copy:

  svn mkdir foo
  svn propset svn:external 'URL PATH' foo
  svn update   # gets external item into foo/PATH
  svn commit   # "Committed rN"
  svn update -r (N-1)  # update to previous rev

The update which goes back to r(N-1) does not delete the directory 'foo' from
disk. It stays behind as an unversioned, empty directory.
