i think you have to decide why you want to clean. is it because you want
to save disk space or is just to get a "cleaner looking" repository ?
if the former, then you have to realize that the the svn db never really
shrinks only gets larger and larger no matter what you commit.
if the latter, then it's probably a matter of style or taste. we
actually created a "recycle bin"-project in our root, so people
(including non-developers) had one last chance to view what's being
deleted in an quick way. after that we delete the "recycle bin"-project
itself.
