Not to mention letting you know *why* it failed, rather than just "it did".

IMO, it should error anyways based on how svn status should work. If status
normally runs locally, then there is no problem. If you *tell* it to talk to
the repository, then it is an error not to.

So this whole "ignore" / warning thing just goes in the dumpster. In
general, ignoring/warning about stuff isn't a good idea.
