At the very least the error messages are misleading:
There is nothing that could be updated in this case.

Seriously, what competition? What reason even is there to allow
a purely server-side operation to run into a can't-continue state
due to other commits -- and not let those commits (that are late
to the race to begin with) fail?

The message should really be

  svn: I don't feel like it, please retry.
