Title:
  subversion 1.4.x regression when replacing symlink by regular file

Status in Subversion:
  Confirmed
Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: subversion

  Subversion 1.3 (as packaged in Edgy) is able to replace a file by
  symlink and conversely in a single revision. Subversion 1.4 has a bug
  that prevents replacing a symlink by a file in one commit. To work
  around the problem, it is necessary to clear the svn:special property
  of the file after svn:add.
