Unversioning a folder

Hi,

I wanted to unversion a subfolder in a project. I followed the advice
in the Help text:

- Right-click the folder
- Select Export from the context menu
- Export the folder to itself

TSVN asked for confirmation whether I want to unversion the selected
folder.
TSVN deleted the .svn folder but it didn't delete the unversioned
folder's entry from the parent folder's .svn\entries file. Cleanup did
not help either.

Consequently the just unversioned folder became obstructed and I could
not do anything but check it out from the repository again, i.e. re-
version it.

If after self-export I delete that folder's entry from the .svn
\entries file manually, everything works fine. The folder becomes
unversioned and is listed as such in the commit dialog. Of course, it
is not possible to version it again from the commit dialog because it
still exists in the repository but that can be repaired by deleting it
with the repo-browser.

I know this is a tricky question. What should TSVN do if other users
still want to use that folder??? I see only one safe solution here:
user communication. Can TSVN help with some dialog box? E.g. delete
the folder from the repository after confirmation?
