I agree. (I didn't suggest it should.)

Why is it too tedious for you to use "svn revert file2 file3 file8" but not too
tedious for you to do what you do, which I'm guessing is something like "rm
file2 file3 file8" followed by "svn update"? The effort looks very similar to me.

Instead of:
rm -rf TREE
svn update TREE
you can use:
svn update -r0 TREE
rm -rf TREE
svn update TREE
Would that be OK for you?
