Issue #962, working on it right now for the .17 milestone.

What does "unrecoverable failure" mean?

I can't reproduce this problem:

 $ svn rm file:///usr/local/svn/greek-repo/A/B/was_lambda
 Committed revision 95.
 $ cd wc/A/B
 $ svn up was_lambda
 D was_lambda
 Updated to revision 95.

Actually, this is not as expected. A missing file should still be
able to be scheduled for deletion. And in the latest svn, this works
fine.

Yes, this bug is already fixed, issue #863.

You better upgrade to 0.16.1. :-)
