Good point.

That patch isn't the complete answer though --- if the file was
copied, we really do need to delete the base props. On the other
hand, we're currently dangling both the working props (as you point
out) *and* the text-base (for copies).

What is the behavior of "svn add foo; svn rm foo" supposed to be
anyway? I always just use revert.
