[Difx-users] Cleaning up subversion

[Walter Brisken]

Hi Chris,

I think this is OK to do.  But first I would check to see if there is a 
way in subversion to mark something as invisible (and thus not checked 
out) rather than erasing them since it is a good amount of work to 
regenerate the releases.  Perhaps would be good to make a .tar.gz for each 
release and stash that somewhere in case someone wants a full old version.
