[Monotone-devel] Weird effects when deleting a directory

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

when you delete a directory that has files in it, Monotone
seems to implicitly move those files down in the hierarchy:

  $ monotone --db .test.db --branch test setup .
  $ mkdir somedir
  $ echo foo >somedir/bar
  $ monotone add somedir/
  | monotone: adding somedir/bar to working copy add set
  $ monotone commit --message test 'test'
  | monotone: beginning commit
  | monotone: manifest f47bf01413c4b2d932d442c4d1254540b7bfd603
  | monotone: revision 112a05153cde708c776837fdb262263dfb1e2970
  | monotone: branch test
  | enter passphrase for key ID address@hidden:
  |
  | monotone: committed revision 112a05153cde708c776837fdb262263dfb1e2970
  $ monotone drop somedir
  | monotone: adding somedir to working copy delete set
  $ monotone status
  | monotone: misuse: file disappeared but exists in new manifest: bar

Is this a bug or is this behavior intentional?
