undo add deletes local file causing data loss

Hi,

Correct example 1:

If I have an unversioned file, and select "Add" from the tortoisesvn context menu, then the file gets added to version control.

If I then select "Undo Add" then the file is removed from version control, but the local file is left completely alone on my filesystem.

Correct example 2:

If I have a versioned file, and select "Delete" from the tortoisesvn context menu, then the file gets removed from version control and deleted from my local filesystem.

Bug example:

If I have a versioned file and from the context menu select "Rename" and enter a new name, then the file is renamed in version control and on my local filesystem.

The renamed file is then shown with the same shell overlay as a newly added file. If I look at the tortoisesvn context menu "Delete" is not listed, but "Undo Add" is listed.

If I select "Undo add" from the context menu then file is removed from version control, AND THE LOCAL FILE IS DELETED FROM MY FILE SYSTEM. If the local file contains uncommitted changes then this causes DATA LOSS.

What should happen is the same as "Undo add" in the case of a non-renamed file: the file should be removed from version control but the local file should be left completely alone on my filesystem.

Ideally a renamed file should have both "Delete" and "Undo Add" in the context menu. Delete should delete the file, Undo Add should just remove it from version control. This is a lower priority than the main issue though, which is just that "Undo Add" should never delete a local file.

Please agree that this should be raised as a bug.

Best regards,
Tom
