Happened yesterday, I checked out into / instead of /etc.. svn behaves
slightly different then rsync I guess.

Does svn have a command to delete all versioned items?
If not you still have to 'manually' figure out which directories /
files came from the checkout and which ones existed before.

And this only applies to files.. it doesn't applies to directories
going into a conflict state right?
