It sort of depends on the "environment" that you're in. Assuming a
capable command line like from Linux:
In the past, I've used "svn st" to get this list, then done a
search/replace for the ? at the beginning of each line, replacing with
"rm -r ".
This isn't quite enough, as the "svn:ignore" entries won't show up
unless you also pass the --no-ignore option, but you may or may not want
to do that depending on your scenarios.
If you like XML processing more, you could do "svn st --xml
--no-ignore", and pipe that into a file, process with XSLT to turn into
a script that runs "rm ".
