 I do the same usage as you do.  There are three types of files:
 - files under version control and unchanged in the WC; these do not
   appear in svn status -- these are committed
 - files under version control but changed in the WC (added files,
   modified files, removed files...); these appear in svn status as "A"
   "M" or "D" etc.  -- these are not committed
 - files not under version control, such as new files which were not svn
   added; these appear as "?" in svn status -- these wont be committed

 I know of two types of usage of svn-buildpackage:
 - Joss in the GNOME team commits files, and then tests the build;
   this often results in more commits, especially with commits fixing
   the previous commits
 - I personally change files, svn add or svn rm them, do a test build,
   and then do the commit; I set svn-ignore-new in
   .svn-buildpackage.conf for this to be allowed


 What I don't like it the handling of the third type of files; these
 files should not ever be considered by svn-buildpackages since these
 are not in SVN.  If you don't plan to add these to the SVN, why would
 you build with these files?

 Are you advocating for an option to still be able to build with these
 files, the '?' files?
