Re: svn rm should be 'fixed'

Plus it won't delete the file if there are local modifications in it.

I don't think the behavior is wrong, BTW. If I delete a file then I don't want
it to be there and compile against it. It would also be inconsistent with other
commands. svn mv does a move both in svn and the filesystem and then rm wouldn't.

Regards,
Blair
