Inconsistent meaning of delete_unversioned_target in WC

The attached patch factors out some code, but it reveals an inconsistency. In svn_wc__delete_many(), an unversioned target is handled as:     if (delete_unversioned_target && !keep_local):       Delete it.     Continue successfully. In svn_wc__delete_internal() -- the single-file variant -- an unversioned target is handled as:     if (delete_unversioned_target):       Delete it if !keep_local.      Return successfully.     else:       Return the 'unversioned' error. The difference is, if a target is unversioned and delete_unversioned_target is FALSE, __delete_many will continue whereas __delete_internal will throw an error. Documentation is found on svn_wc_delete4():  * If @a delete_unversioned_target is TRUE and @a local_abspath is not  * versioned, @a local_abspath will be handled as an added files without  * history. So it will be deleted if @a keep_local is FALSE. If @a  * delete_unversioned is FALSE and @a local_abspath is not versioned a  * #SVN_ERR_WC_PATH_NOT_FOUND error will be returned. (The two private API's don't document anything about this.) According to that doc string, __delete_many is wrong. This version of the patch selects the __delete_internal variant ("throw an error"), and many tests fail.  That suggests thatin some cases we are expecting the opposite behaviour. So what do we want to do? - Julian -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
