Your semi-transcript showed you deleting "testfile" not "test". I
assume this was just a typo?
I'm pretty sure this is a known & filed issue, but I couldn't find it
in the database. It would affect more than just 'svn cat', since it's
the general problem of referring to an object not present in the
working copy, and many commands might do that.
I think Ben might know off the top of his head which issue this is;
I'll ask him when he comes back from the store.
