I believe this was fixed a while back in commit
45bf473a7bc2c40c8aea3d34a0eab7a41e77a8ff
(Thu Nov 9 01:19:37 2006 -0800).

I just tested this on a live server, and it seems to be correctly
erroring out if the local files are not up-to-date.


The only currently known issues that could break commits is from using
merge or pull from another svn branch and trying to dcommit the result
(see CAVEATS section in the manpage).  I hope to fix this soon (hoping
somebody beats me to it, of course)


Otherwise there's still open bugs on svn:// fetch connections dying and
permissions issues with some DAV repos, neither of which can cause data
corruption on either side.
