You definitely want "svn revert shadow" instead of "svn del shadow".
"svn del shadow" would print an error message to you, telling you to
use "--force" if you really want to, and if you "svn del --force
shadow" then your shadow file will truly be deleted from disk
forever. "svn revert shadow", on the other hand, merely unschedules
the scheduled addition to the repository and leaves the file on the
disk, which is what you want.
