Not really. Because checking/unchecking e.g. "show unversioned files"
requires a refetch of the status. And when that happens, there is no
sorting done at all - the 'sorting' is done by the Subversion library,
it's not by path/author/revision/status... but by 'crawling and status'.
So we can't just resort there - because you can't get 'back' after you
sort by one of the columns.

Can't reproduce that. The deleted files are removed from the list when I
tried it.

That's a little dangerous, don't you think? A command which deletes all
files which you haven't even seen first?
