| svn users probably don't notice files are unintentionally removed; git-svn does complain about version-controlled files being missing during rebase (i.e. re-applying local private patches to an updated upstream).

svn marks missing files via a '!' (and unknown/unexpected files with a '?'):

edd at max:~/svn/r-devel/tests$ svn st
?       Makefile
!       ver20.Rd
?       Native/Makefile
?       Examples/utils-Ex.Rout.fail
?       Examples/Makefile
!       testit.Rd
?       Embedding/Makefile
edd at max:~/svn/r-devel/tests$ 

Do you REALLY think svn would not know about missing files?  There does not
seem to be a limit on the disdain for svn among git users. Fascinating.
