As others have pointed out over and over, the modified files weren't
actually deleted from disk -- they just became unversioned. As a
point of interest, 'svn up' and 'svn switch' are the exact same
codepath, and thus share this behavior. If your co-worker commits the
deletion of a file which you've locally modified, 'svn up' will
likewise print a big "D file", but won't actually delete the file.
