Feature request: Unversion files/folders

Hi Stefan,

I have just added a section to the HowTo section of our docs explaining
how to remove a folder from version control. However, it seems to me
that the list of steps needed to do this for files and folders could
perhaps be automated in an 'unversion' command for files and folders.

Dialog reminding you what you are about to do, listing selected
files/folders and requesting a commit message.
Maybe an option to add all items to the ignore list afterwards.
Create temp folder.
Copy/export all items to the temp folder.
svn delete all items.
svn commit all items.
move everything back from temp folder.
if anything goes wrong, tell user where the temp folder is!

Is this worth doing, or just way too much work for a little-used feature?

Simon
