um, it *is* the default action for 'rm', *if* there's been a property
set on the file in the past which would seem to contradict the intent
of your 'rm' (namely, chmod u-w).
similarly, interactive prompting or requiiring '--force' should be the
default for svn add, *if* there's been a property set on the file which
would seem to contradict the intent of your 'add' (namely, svn:ignore).

their own adds and commits.
