svn add option to record replaced files as modified?

[Jens Restemeier]

I was wondering, would it be possible to add an option to “svn add” to
record deleted and then added files as “modified” instead of “replaced”?
Obviously this could be done with a script (backup the current file, svn
revert the file to remove the deleted status, copy the backup over the
restored file), but it may be safer to just update the metadata differently
inside the command. Or is this already possible with an option or command
that I’m not aware of?
