This brings me to a question:

Will/should subversion delete files/directories it does not know about ?

On the one hand side I want subversion to take care to manage all my files.
If I say "update" I want to have an exact copy of the repository.
This implies that there are no additional files/directories hanging around.

One the other side "sometimes" I want this extra file/directory to stay.
Like in the example with the svn/apr directory. Subversion does not know
about it
(no info in .svn/entries) but I do not want subversion to delete it.

But most of the time I want subversion to delete this "unknown" files to
make
sure that there is no "garbage" hanging around.

How is this currently handled and what is the plan for the future ?

Thanks.
