Subversion prevents unforced moves not only of unversioned paths, but also
of locally modified paths. Copy allows both of these cases *without* the
--force option (actually copy doesn't support --force at all). Removing
the call to svn_client__can_delete() in wc_to_wc_copy() removes the
requirement for --force. I'm not sure why we ever did this since we are
moving items, not truly deleting them, unlike the only other call to
svn_client__can_delete() in svn_client__wc_delete() where such a check
makes some sense.

Any objections to this change?

P.S. There is one other consideration regarding this change: whether to
get rid of --force entirely for svn move. Looking at svn_client_move4() I
don't see any reason to keep it, but I'm a bit unsure how deprecating a
subcommand option is supposed to happen.

[[[
Don't require --force to move dirs with unversioned files or local mods.

Yet another follow-up to r20811. This brings svn move's behavior in line
with svn copy.

Suggested by: zhakov

* subversion/libsvn_client/copy.c
  (wc_to_wc_copy): Remove force arg. Remove check for "awkward" files
(i.e.
  local mods and unversioned files).

* subversion/tests/cmdline/copy_tests.py
  (basic_copy_and_move_files, mv_unversioned_file, force_move,
  move_copied_file_and_dir, move_moved_file_and_dir,
  move_file_within_moved_dir, move_file_out_of_moved_dir,
  move_dir_within_moved_dir, move_dir_out_of_moved_dir,
  move_file_back_and_forth, move_dir_back_and_forth,
  copy_move_added_paths): Remove all uses of '--force' option when running
  svn move.
