Philip is right.
I have some tests that worked with SVN 1.7.x, but they fail because the
"svn delete" operation behaves differently with SVN 1.8.5 r1542147
compiled Nov 27 2013.
What I saw from our tests, as a general SVN 1.8 behavior regarding "svn
delete", is that it does not provide warnings (does not force you to use
"--force" option anymore) in the below cases (there might be other cases
I did not found):
- for "added" directories, or items "replaced" with directories, if the
directory has no properties set or has no content (other files, dirs
inside);
If there are items inside a deleted directory, the warning is not
related with the deleted directory, but with an item inside it (with SVN
1.7, it said that the directory has changes).
- for "missing" items (files or directories).
So, my question is: is this SVN 1.8 "svn delete" behavior intentional or
it should behave like with SVN 1.7 ?!
