Except that Subversion is _not_ a Windows app; it is a cross-platform
application. OS specific code is avoided for lots of good reasons (I should
know, I had some *nix specific code nixed because I couldn't provide a
methodology to match for Win32).

It is not the application's business (or the O/S's as far as I am concerned) to
handhold the user and protect them from shooting themselves in the foot. Even
Microsoft partially agrees with me, since a DEL in the CMD shell doesn't use the
recycle bin.

If you have a problem with the way that TortoiseSVN chooses to implement
deletes, that's the door down the hall on the left. ;) There is no reason to
change the behavior of the commandline tools to fit this one application.
