'svn ls' and 'svn cat' inconsistent.

["B. W. Fitzpatrick" <fi...@red-bean.com>]

You can pass a working copy path to 'svn cat', and it will fetch the
HEAD for that file and concatenate it to your screen.

You cannot pass a working copy path to 'svn ls'.

Shouldn't they both behave in the same manner?  It's not a critical
bug, but I think that we should be consistent or we're going to
confuse people.

I had a note from our last book meeting about this very thing.  I
would definitely like to see 'ls' working on WC dirs.
