Consider the following example:

$ ll

$ svn status dodo         ## (1)

svn_error: #21026 : <Can't find an entry>
 svn_client_status: 'dodo' is not a versioned resource
$ touch dodo
$ svn status dodo         ## (2)

svn_error: #21010 : <Bogus filename>
 svn_wc_statuses:  bogus path `dodo'
$ mv install.sh moved-install.sh
$ svn status install.sh   ## (3)
$ svn status              ## (4)
_    108     (   108)  .
_    108     (   108)  .\.svnignore
_    108     (   108)  .\berkeley-db.m4

_    108     (   108)  .\svn-macros.m4



(1) O.K., the error message is fine.
(2) Wrong. Should either print the same message as (1), or print

        ?  dodo
        to be consistent with update.
(3, 4) Definitely wrong. "status" should notice and report that the
     working file of a versioned resource is missing.
