Subversion does not do what you want. To do what you want, you'd have
to write a script to parse the output of "svn info" on your working
copy, issue the appropriate "svn add" and "svn delete" commands, and
then "svn commit" it all, and you would then use this script instead
of running "svn commit" manually. I'm not aware if anyone has written
any such script already.
