Yes, that was how I thought it ought to work. However, it doesn't
work that way in 0.16.

Possibly it's another reflection of the same bug with "svn update -u".
I thought I'd report it as well in case it was separate, and it seemed
like a good example of why it ought to print 'A' not give an error.

Here's an example of adding and committing a file in one wc, and then
adding a (conflicting) file in another directory:

% svn stat -uv two/
               10 10 mbp two
               10 9 mbp two/added
Head revision: 10
% svn stat -uv trunk
       * 6 6 mbp trunk
A * 0 ? ? trunk/added
Head revision: 10
% svn stat -uv trunk/added
svn: Filesystem has no item
svn: file not found: transaction `u', path `/trunk'
