Go right ahead. "svn rm file1 file2" and then "svn commit -m
'removing file1 and file2'". The files will still be in the
repository's history. Subversion is deliberately designed to make it
very difficult to permanently delete things.

Subversion does not have a facility to automatically rename files
when you make changes to them. If you want that behavior, you'll have
to remember to do it manually, or write a script to do so.

In CVS, files have revision numbers which are in dotted number format
(1.2, 1.3.2.1, etc.). But in Subversion, files do not have revision
numbers. Rather, the repository as a whole has a revision number, and
it is an integer. So you cannot say things like "revision 1.2 of
portal.jar." Instead you say things like "portal.jar as it existed in
revision 53 of the repository."

Please read the Subversion book:

Especially the section for people migrating from CVS:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.forcvs.html

Especially the section "Revision numbers are different now":
