Package: subversion
Version: 1.5.1dfsg1-1
Severity: important

[Setting severity to important, because this is some kind of user data
corruption that can be hard to detect. BTW, I wonder if the fix should
be in lenny.]

This is upstream bug

  http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1672

that was fixed a month ago. Quoted from this page:

"The basic problem is when a directory has a property. You delete the
property and add a file. In a second working copy also create a file
of the same name. When you do an update in the second working copy it
will fail due to a obstructed update. If you delete the obstructed
file and rerun the update the property will not be deleted. If you
delete the whole directory and rerun the update then the property goes
away."

Note that if the user modifies the property in the WC that is out of
sync, the commit will NOT fail, and if the user doesn't take care of
this bug, the repository may get outdated data.
