And at least crop, exclude, revert and delete can also produce unused pristines.
(Conceptually the first two by changing the BASE tree, the other two by changing the WORKING tree).
When we release pristines doesn't have to be the same between 'svn' and the other clients if we just create a libsvn_client function that cleans up pristines.
(And which doesn't break locks)
I think we should have at least some pristine cleanup which doesn't require user confirmation to verify if it is safe to steal locks.
I'm -1 on recommending users to script a 'svn cleanup' in their common usage patterns.
