Agreed with Erik that atomic problems should be solved separately. Of
course new code should be done without introducing new atomic
problems.

I have doubt about this. At this time svn_wc__entry_modify doesn't
have such code. And adding such intelligence to deep function possibly
change behavior in many places. Might this is just paranoia.

I know about copy text-revert and prop-revert. I am fixing problems by
small steps. As the frist step I'll fix deletion itself (my
copy_tests.py 35). For this I need only cleanup fields.
As next step I'll fix reverting and for this I need copy revert files
back to base. I haven't question where second thing should be done --
my opinion in svn_wc_delete2()
