I still don't understand. You wanted to replace the file with a stub, and then delete it? Why not just delete it (or use svn mv in the first place)?

No. That is exactly what I wanted to avoid by using "svn copy", instead of "svn move". "svn move" mark the original file for removal. which makes it impossible to modify the original file on the same commit. Anyway, Brett updated the PEP with renaming procedure that avoids this problem completely.
