-----------<br>
Modify chapter 2's description of svn delete FOO<br>
<br>
In fact, svn delete *does* immediately remove directories, as well as files<br>
and symlinks. This is true on svn 1.8 and 1.9. The behaviour described by the<br>
previous version of the book applied to previous versions of svn.<br>
<br>
Discussed on #svn on Freenode on 1 December 2017.<br>
