If the file is deleted with Tortoise (or 'svn delete'), then TSVN will
show the file as "Deleted", not missing. It will only show "Missing"
if the file is deleted without using an SVN client, and it means that
SVN doesn't know if it is supposed to be deleted or not.

See above. This is only correct behavior for "Missing" files,
"Deleted" files should not be restored upon Update.
