Sorry, but beside the point. To my recycle bin setting SVN should
fill the bin. It doesn't. Just as John wrote. So any change of this
behaviour would most likely result in SVN still ignoring my (or your
or anyone's) setting of the bin, but simply filling it up. And make
me dealing with deleted stuff twice, no matter of my settings.
While there are lots of undelete tools there are none that could
sensibly empty the bin. So for providing for the accidental delete
you would rather force anyone to put in additional work for reviewing
the bin. Give SVN a CTRL-DEL and then it's OK for anyone.
BTW as John correctly mentioned commandline behaviour I have
heard of tools that intercept CL deletes and put them into the bin.
Maybe this would help you.

If ye love wealth better than liberty,

We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
