svn revert fileThatDoesNotExist

reports:

Skipped 'fileThatDoesNotExist'

and returns 0.

If that is the expected behavior (and eventually becomes documented to
be so) that's ok by me. I just wanted to make sure that was the
expected behavior in this case.

(The rm case seems worse because it silently succeeds - if it printed a
warning that would be better - issue filed.)
