          Description

          The changes in the pristine store WC-NG led to a behavior change from previous releases.  Pristine files 
that are no longer referenced in the working copy are not automatically cleaned up.  User has to run a 
separate command "svn cleanup" to remove the pristines from the working copy.

Adding this as a tracking issue as the release notes reference Issue XXX and needs an issue number to 
replace it.

            It worth to note that current behavior is useful in some cases: Subversion
doesn't download files from server if user switches to branch and then back to
trunk. Which is very useful in some scenarios.
