71,Tailor fails on darcs->svn conversion: non-existing file cannot be removed,eschnett,lele,"I am trying to convert a rather large darcs repository (http://www.carpetcode.org/~darcs/carpet-stable-3) to svn.  Tailor fails at some point with the following error message:

}}}

And tailor is right: This file is indeed not under version control at this point.  It appears that darcs allows removing this non-existing file, which svn does not allow.

{{{

}}}

I just updated tailor.  My latest tailor patch is:
{{{
Tue Aug 15 20:01:01 EDT 2006  lele@nautilus.homeip.net
  * Insert add_dir entries at the right place
  This is an adaption of a patch by Jeff Licquia <jeff@licquia.org>:
  instead of appending the ADD entries for the parent directories, place
  them at the right place, ie before the entry that triggers the
  creation.
