The server is 1.6.13.

If I delete that file and do svn update, it just comes back. This is the
part that has me most confused because the directory does not have any
svn:externals properties on it (but it used to).

When I do an update, what directs the svn client to pull the external
file? It has to be something in the .svn directory, right?

Yes, this is ultimately what I'm going to have to do. Unfortunately,
this has happened more than once and I'd really like to understand
what's going on.
