I did run into a problem that I was no aware of and I want to bring this up to 
attention. Also I would like to know what is the best way to handle such case 
since it gave me little problem.

I am developing multi platform system. When I try to add "aux" folder on linux 
I was able to commit just fine. Now wen getting update on windows I was getting 
strange error saying that aux folder can't be created. Googling I found below 
link explaining reserved words on windows.

Now I try to move aux to misc on Linux and committing it. That was fine but 
still on windows I was not able to get latest.
It looks like it was updating all changes and (creation of aux) before applying 
(move aux mic).
I try to delete misc on linux and committing it. Still windows was complaining. 
It does not seems like svn have true "drop" to revision.

I ended up doing svnadmin dump -r 1:$GOOD_VER, created new repo and loading it 
back. This is a long process.

Are there any other/better alternatives. I was pressed on time so perhaps I did 
overlooked something?
