If you read the SVN doc properly, you will notice that they recommend
that only as a last resort, perhaps if you have committed a confidential
document by mistake. Neither Subversion nor TSVN makes it easy to
destroy data permanently. Just because VSS does that, doesn't mean it is
a good thing.
I am a perfectionist as well, but trying to hide mistakes by
obliterating them from the repository is not what revision control is about.
