My interpretation of deleting from the repository is that the entry in the
repository is deleted but the working copy is not affected. I guess I am
wrong about that. Is there really no way to remove a file in a working
directory from under subversion control ? It would seem strange if that were
the case and very primitive of SVN. It would mean that one could add files
to the repository but that one could never delete files from the repository
without having those files deleted from the working copy.

I execute the Cleanup command from the TortoiseSVN submenu, it completes
successfully, but the same error repeats itself.
