This allows someone to perform versioning operations on directories
without the directory actually being there. For example, if the code
would so allow, I could do

    svn rm -f A/D/G

G would now be missing from disk (and therefore, so would its entries
file), but A/D would still have a notation that G is scheduled for
removal from revision control.
