Hi Mark,
TortoiseSVN suffers from the same issue. The problem is the -N on the
commit (which you need to keep control) - if deleting a directory -N is
explicitly
prohibited. To work around this I always have to skip the directory
deletion
and do that bit in a separate checkin from the command line.
Cheers,
