svn release -d?

After voting in the logo contest, I realized that the functional
equivalent of `cvs release -d logos' seems to be missing from the
command line client. That is: Check for any modified/unversioned
files and zap the entire wc if there aren't any.

The closest I could find was `svn update -r0 logos', which will remove
all versioned unmodified files and directories. It has two
disadvantages over a real `release -d' though:

1) The top level directory is not removed, even if it's empty
2) Any modified files are left out of context due to the nonmodifed
   files always being removed. This makes it harder to decide if you
   should commit the modified files or not.

Yes, you can do it by first running `svn status logos' and then `rm
-rf logos', but having a single operation for it is more convenient
and less error prone. And CVS has it. :-)
