I had a further comment. If a file has local mods, then remove still
works. I think it should warn (even if the file is not deleted and
only removed from version control).

Subversion requires the user to pass a --force flag. I think it would 
preferable to just have a confirmation if the --force flag is not passed.

1) svn remove foo
File has local modifications. Still delete? [y/N] y  #no is default
[File is deleted]

2) svn remove --force foo
[File is deleted]

This is how apt-get (for example) behaves.

apt-get install xemacs21
[confirmation requested]

apt-get install -y xemacs21
[no confirmation requested]
