I tried updating to a version that creates a directory, when the
directory already exists, with monotone 0.34.

It complained that there was a conflict, and didn't update anything.

Maybe I misunderstood the condition that caused J Becker's problems

Or maybe my test case was too simple.

I guess another option would be to guess what error conditions might
exist before making any changes.
