In a working copy:

xvii% mkdir dir
xvii% touch foo dir/foo
xvii% svn status dir
?       dir
xvii% svn status foo
?       foo
xvii% svn status dir/foo
svn: warning: W155010: The node '/home/vinc17/wd/dir/foo' was not found.

For the last command, I would have expected:

?       dir/foo

In particular, the warning does not make much sense, because "svn status"
is expected to work on unversioned files as shown with the first two
"svn status" commands.
