Description

As first mentioned in this users@-thread:

http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2016-06/0077.shtml

When making a directory depth=empty, svn is careful not to lose local modifications (modified files are left there as part of the sparse working copy – same for added files). However, local deletes are lost (and consequently also moves are broken, only the A+ is left). I think that's a bug. It makes it hard to confidently make a working copy more sparse.

Copy-pasting some reproduction transcripts from the users@-thread below:

Sparsification breaking a move:

C:\svntest>svnadmin create r

C:\svntest>svn co -q file:///c:/svntest/r wc

C:\svntest>cd wc

C:\svntest\wc>touch iota

C:\svntest\wc>svn add -q iota

C:\svntest\wc>svn ci -q -m r1

C:\svntest\wc>svn up -q

C:\svntest\wc>svn mv iota kappa
A kappa
D iota

C:\svntest\wc>svn st
D iota
> moved to kappa
A + kappa
> moved from iota

C:\svntest\wc>svn up --set-depth empty
D iota
Updating '.':
Updated to revision 1.

C:\svntest\wc>svn st
A + kappa

Sparsification losing a simple delete:

C:\svntest>svn co file:///c:/svntest/r wc2
A wc2\iota
Checked out revision 1.

C:\svntest>cd wc2

C:\svntest\wc2>svn rm iota
D iota

C:\svntest\wc2>svn st
D iota

C:\svntest\wc2>svn up --set-depth empty
D iota
Updating '.':
Updated to revision 1.

C:\svntest\wc2>svn st
