I think we should amend that paragraph in the manual.

Because you have not made it obvious what you want then TSVN/SVN has to
guess. If you update your working copy before committing, (recommended
because you cannot commit an out-of-date working copy) then SVN will
spot the missing file and restore it from the repository. Your delete is
undone.

If you delete the file in subversion then it is marked for deletion from
the repository on next commit, and update will not try to restore it.

You need to ask that sort of question on the users@subversion list. We
only provide the GUI font end, not the underlying client libraries.
