I zipped the remote depot and unzipped right where the target depot was, 
and this file showed up without problem.

So I assume this must be some complex interaction... so I'm stuck with a 
useless depot. Is there a way I could manually discard that file from 
the depot (make it like it never existed in the first place)? Or can I 
just use the copy and resume operation without risks? Help!
