build 20030129

To move a folder I recurse into the folder and setContents on conflicting 
destination files. When I'm done with all files and after deleting all the 
source files (which I have validateEdited) I delete the folder. The delete 
fails because the folder is not checked out and is read-only. 
I can't validateEdit folders, should I be able to?

I assume we can close this now.  If the delete fails then you can't do 
anything more.  The provider would've had a chance to make it writeable 
through move/delete hook.  If they couldn't, then you can't either.
