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.

I really like svn. I use it everyday.

But I really dislike 'svn rm', because I make the mistake everyday. I always want to remove something from the repository and use it, but end up deleting the file on the local machine. Especially bad when I just added the file, or there are changes on it I have not saved yet.

I have come to think of it more as a bug than a feature. I think 'svn rm' should do just that -- rm from the repository rather than the local file as well.

Thank you,
