svn rm deletes local copy too

hi all,

currently by using the command svn rm, the user is forced not only to remove
the file out of version control but the local copy is deleted as well. what
if i just want to remove the version control but keep the file in the
meantime. does it require a new feature or is there some kind of workaround?

cheers,
jie
