<div>Hi, Mike.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I note that "Part II. SVN Command Reference" already has a correct description of the behaviour of svn delete (in relation to whether it deletes now or only on an svn commit). But it doesn't mention the issue that you describe (attempting to delete a directory that is not empty). Would you like to add it there?</div>

<div>Hi, Mike.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would vote for "no", because this section is meant only to introduce the 5 most commonly used commands, not to provide a thorough description of them. There is already a footnote on that item.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But if you're sure, I'd be happy to add that.</div>

<div>I can't see the context right now, but is it worth noting here that in the directory case, the directory won't be removed if there are unversioned items within it?<br/>

-----------<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/>
