title: How to remove all deleted files from repository?
body: <p>I have a script in which I add all new files before to commit my working copy to my repository with this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn status | grep ^\? | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I now want to add a line that delete from repository all deleted files in my working copy. In other terms, I cannot specify them one by one, and I need to detect them with svn status and then automatically remove them. However the line doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn status | grep ^\! | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn --force delete
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see I've replaced</p>
  
  <p>"<code>?</code>" with "<code>!</code>" and </p>
  
  <p>"<code>add</code>" with "<code>--force delete</code>"</p>
  
  <p>Could you tell me why it doesn't work ?</p>
  
  <p>ps. I know it is a risky procedure. I've already discussed all about it.
  thanks</p>
