Yes, reporting for duty!
I'm listening :)
Strange, you should have seen a dialog telling you
"The folder %s\ncontains unversioned and/or modified file(s). Do you
want to remove it anyway?"
or for files: "%s\nDo you want to remove it anyway?" (where %s is the
Subversion error message)
And only if you click on "Yes" or "Yes to all", then the files/folders
will get deleted (only then is the 'force' option passed to Subversion).
About using the trash: I wanted to do that, but last time I checked,
Subversion error'ed out if the file/folder to delete was already gone.
So I can't move the items to the trash before calling 'svn rm' (and no,
I haven't found a way to *copy* items to the trash).
Do you have a suggestion on how to improve this?
Stefan
