Servers configuration file not recreated when it is the only one missing

Hi !

I wonder if you guys would consider this a bug. I had an older version
of SVN installed on my Win32 machine. This was < SVN 0.25. It is a
machine I use infrequently. So, I decided to upgrade to 0.27.0. Then, I
tried authentifying with my HTTPS server at home. I am self-certified,
so I wanted to update the servers configuration file so that I could put
add ssl-ignore-unknown-ca = true. At the time, I did not remember the
exact value name. So, I remembered that on my machine, the file had
examples in the servers file, which this one did not have. So, I deleted
the file, and ran an innocuous SVN command (svn help in this case).
Surprise, the servers file had not been recreated. I tried a few more
commands (svn ls, log, status), and the file still had not been
recreated. In the end, I deleted the whole Subversion configuration
folder, and when I next ran SVN, the folder was recreated with
appropriate default files in it.

So, the question is: Should the Subversion command-line client recreate
missing files in the configuration directory, or should only the whole
directory be recreated when required ?

If missing files should be recreated, this would be a bug I believe.

My environment:
Win2K SP 3
svn, version 0.27.0 (r6715)
