I've got my own version of a clean/purge script which just uses shell and
sed, if that is any help.
Alternatively, if that was a subtle hint that you are using Windows, then I
can see how scripts would be more painful.
If you feel strongly about this changing, I think you should summarize the
problem to the dev@ list, making sure to point out clearly why scripts don't
work well for you. _If_ suitable consensus is generated, there is no problem
adding another svn subcommand.
