Version Control with Subversion - Subversion in Action - Mixed revisions have limitations
Mixed revisions have limitations
However you make use of mixed revisions in your
working copy, there are limitations to this
flexibility.
First, you cannot commit the deletion of a file or
directory which isn't fully up-to-date. If a newer
version of the item exists in the repository, your attempt
to delete will be rejected, to prevent you from
accidentally destroying changes you've not yet
seen.
Second, you cannot commit a metadata change to a
directory unless it's fully up-to-date. You'll learn
about attaching
“properties” to items in Chapter 6. A
directory's working revision defines a specific set of
entries and properties, and thus committing a property
change to an out-of-date directory may destroy properties
you've not yet seen.
