Cleanup unable to recover from trying to add now-missing file

Dear all,

One of the last updates of tsvn introduced a new behavior that makes
live harder for me and my collegues uning TSVN:
If you accidentally add a temporary file and try to commit it only
after the system has deleted it again SVN aborts the commit and sets the
working copy state to "locked" which for me is fine: The user has
ordered to do something that has failed.
Cleaning up the repository afterwards with the "TortoiseSVN/Cleanup"
button won't be able to restore the repo into a usable state, though, as
long as the file is still missing. And the standard way of resolving the
problem: Deleting the directory the problem is in and trying to update
or at least clean up afterwards - leaves the repo in a state that is
nearly impossible to recover from from the sight of a average user.

Since this seem to happen rather frequently in the last few days I
thought I'd better to report this to the list. Don't know if it would be
better to prevent from trying to commit non-existing files (Might be
more transparent to the user but I cannot see how to prevent a race
condition if the file is deleted during the commit) or to empower the
cleanup allowing it to revert the add that went wrong.

Thanks a lot,

 Gunter.
