Cleanup needs file present

with TSVN 1.10.1 x64 I tried to commit a changed version of two files in the same folder, but the folder was not updated.
Long story short: the WC got currupted and needed a cleanup.

As there was a conflict during update which created those "merge" files, I decided to delete all the affected files in the folder (the new yet uncommitted version, the xxx.r1234 files and similar).

Then I ran Cleanup, several times with all options enabled, but it always failed, complaining about a missing file (one of the original files I tried to change and commit).
I tried revert, but it just complained that I need to run cleanup first.

Then I checked out that folder (with that exact revision) into a new WC, copied the filed to the old WC, run cleanup, and then it finally worked.


What I consider a bug here is the fact that cleanup insists on the presence of files which it could simply copy from the .svn folder.

Regards,
David

you'll have to report this on the svn mailing list since that's the behavior of the svn library.
But usually, only checking
* cleanup working copy status
* break write locks
and nothing else is most likely to succeed.
