No, it just makes the file 'unversioned'. It refuses to delete
irreplaceable data.

If the file (or directory) has no local changes at all, then yes, 'svn
up' will actually delete the thing.

Well, running 'svn status' will show your file as '?'. That's a pretty
clear indication that it's something to take notice of.

The sort of 'conflict' marker you're talking about, (when status shows
'C'), is specifically for textual conflicts, not for tree-based
conflicts.
