No, try again.  The question is why does SVK think these files were
removed in my branch when I NEVER TOUCHED THEM!  I know why the push
back failed; I'm sorry I confused you.  What I don't know is why SVK
thinks these files were removed when then weren't....  All I've done
is "pull" and "push", and I've never touched this particular directory
in my local copy.

The fact that the SVN server fails when it sees an empty merge only saved
the real data from being destroyed by SVK!

So let me restate the question:  why does SVK think these files were
deleted?
