Ok, I can see now what you mean. Took me quite a while to find out why
TSVN behaves differently than the CL client or RapidSVN.
Bottom line is this: you can either use TSVN and have the ability to
deselect files and folders from committing, or use the other clients
which don't support that (or not as reliable as TSVN). With TSVN you can
be sure that *nothing* you haven't explicitely selected get's committed.
And because TSVN does that, it can't commit a folder which is deleted
outside Subversion. To do that, we would have to commit the *parent*
folder of that deleted folder, and that would mean a risk to commit
something else you didn't wanted to.
