That command is troublesome when filenames have spaces, and only
deletes actively ignored files anyway (some of which you would like to
keep, like source search caches), but not local modifications or
unversioned files which is part of what was asked for. The best is
probably a combination of svn-clean and svn revert... or just svn
checkout (slow but only way to make sure).
