We're dealing with Windows users here who (should) know about version
control. Which means it's not necessary to clutter TSVN with "are you
sure?" message boxes.
When you delete a file, we don't have to ask for confirmation because a
simple "revert" can bring the file back (it's versioned after all).
In case the file you're about to delete has local modifications (which
aren't committed yet), TSVN *will* ask you for confirmation. And then
(at least in the version you're using, not in the 1.4.4 release) it will
not simply delete the file but delete it using the windows trash bin.
That assures that you can get the file back if you want.

P.S. next time, wouldn't it be easier to just shout across the hallway
and ask me personally? :)
