Re: [TSVN] commit of missing files automatically selects removal

Just to throw my own opinion into the ring:

I have just tried, at least the command line client 1.2.0 does neither
delete missing files or add new files during a commit. I think this is
the correct and consistent bahaviour.

But a user error might remove the file, and this error could remain
undetected for some time.

And you like to be very quick in knowing what the "correct" way is to
use Subversion. Yes, there is a "best practice", a "recommended way",
a "you should not...", but they do not always match the target
environment. A good tool should not force you into the "usually best"
way. It should direct you there but leave the choice to the user.

Just my opinion, though.

BTW, the automatic removal of missing files had already hit me, too.
