Should work, will blame the BASE revision of the file.

Dito. (If there's a bug that cat'ing the WORKING file works, then
that's a bug that doesn't affect the cmdline client currently.)

Could warn, current behaviour confusing IMO.

Seems like a bug when no revision specified.

Should work IMO, since it lists repository items. It could be said to
work on BASE as well.

> svn lock

Seems reasonable that this works. You could prevent others from
working on a file you deleted.

Why shouldn't this work?

I don't see a reason this should work.

I agree with those who think this should *not* work. Well, I think
proplist should work when a revision is specified.

Hmmm... Shouldn't deleting a file automatically resolve it?

Should work and say "D path".

Should work.

I'd say this should be a tree conflict.

I don't think so, but that's unrelated.

I'm probably missing some points in my walk-through above which others
will point out:-) I think it would be appropriate to file an issue
about certain commands having bad/confusing interaction with schedule
delete files linking to this thread. Then we could add a "final" list
of things that should be fixed to that issue when the discussion is
over.
