after some more experimenting it looks to me that:

'svn list' always returns paths relative to the given folder,
independent if its given as a local path or as an URL.

That even makes sense 8-) because it's always the repositry contents
that is listed (as 'svn help list' tells in the first sentence)

That also means 'svn list' won't show locally added files, but still
list locally deleted files.

'svn propget' on the other hand returns paths relative to the CWD in
case of a local path, or in case of an URL the complete URL.

And it's showing local information in case of a local path, but
repository information in case of an URL. I think 'svn help
propget/list' should make that clear.

All in all, there goes my idea of how to determine files missing
certain properties. I'll open a new thread for that then.
