This fixes a bug when importing where a directory gets removed/renamed but is immediately replaced by a file of the same name in the same changeset.

This fix only applies to the accurate (default) strategy the moment.

This patch should also fix the fast strategy if/when it is updated to handle the cases that would've triggered this bug.

This bug was originally found in git-svn, but I remembered I did the same thing with archimport as well.
