Hello Lorenz, `svn info` should handle deleted files the same way as nonexistent files, i.e. print a warning (to stderr) and continue processing the next file (param). So, for nonexistent files, the order of params does not matter, the stdout contains output for existing files and warnings are printed to stderr. See the beginning of my first post about deleted files - when a deleted file is the last file param, then it works as expected, stdout contains output for all existing files. However, when the deleted file is the first file param, then the output (stdout) is empty - no other file param is processed.
Note: the warning may be different for deleted and nonexistent files, it does not matter. Important for me is that `svn info` would process all file params even after it hits a deleted file.
