svn update doesn't update text-base

Hi

I recently checked my system (WinXP) again with a virus-checker. For
some reason it didn't like some .bat files in a working copy and deleted
the main files as well as the text-base files. "No problem" I thought,
one svn update and the files should be back again. But svn bailed
out with an error as it couldn't find the text-base file. Any further
operation didn't work because there was still a lock left over. svn
cleanup didn't like this folder either. The only thing I was left with
was to rename the folder and checkout again. Then I could copy
the modified files over the fresh files. I guess I could also just
have taken over the missing text-base file.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out, that there's a problem if the
text-base file is missing. This is not about working copies without
text-base. It's a normal working copy where the text-base file
got deleted.

Would it be possible, that if a text-base file is missing that svn
would check it out again? It knows the path and version, so
that shouldn't be a problem (unless the repository is not available).
If this is not possible could svn at least better cleanup and not
leave locks behind? Is there another command that would get
the text-base files but not overwrite the possibly modified real
files?

Thanks

bye Fabi
