remove a checked out directory

From: jerome jansou <jjusenet_at_yahoo.fr>

Hi,

My question is "how to remove a directory previously
created by a checkout from my working directory ?"

A concrete example :

svn checkout svn://host/proj/

proj contains 2 directories :
- v2.0_beta
- v1.2_patch9

I'm currently working on the 2.0_beta version.
I need to fix a bug i my 1.2_patch9 version, I test it
and release it, then I do not want to use anymore the
1.2_patch9 version, so I want to remove it from my
harddrive without altering anything in the repository.
If I just do a "rm -rf", a further update at top level
will bring it back.

Up to now, I used to first remove the "not wanted
anymore" directory from my development space with a
"rm -rf", then editing the read-only file .svn/entries
in the parent of the "not wanted anymore" directory,
to supress the reference to this directory (well it
looks like cvs...)

"svn delete" does not seem satisfactory because I
cannot risk a further commit some time later who would
really alter the repository.

Any idea ?
