Well, that tells svn that the files are no longer being revisioned, but
forever more when I do an svn status it will complain that the files
have been deleted (implying that they should be removed). Everything
seems to work, but its an annoyance that I'd like to get rid of. I
guess I just don't see why the behavior is different between a file that
was never under version control, and a file that was, but is no longer
under version control.
