Description

There's no interface for getting rid of stuff once you've brought it into your
working copy -- no "exclusion" interface, in other words.  So you can do this:

$ svn co --depth=empty http://.../repos/greek-tree/
$ cd greek-tree
$ svn up A

...and that will get you A/ at depth-infinity.  But once you no longer need A/,
there's no way to do:

$ svn exclude A    ## or whatever the command is named

In fact, you can't yet even do:

$ svn up --depth=empty A

...to at least "fold up" A/ and save the disk space.
