+
+<p>The <tt>svn remove</tt> command now removes directories from disk
+immmediately. In Subversion 1.6, directories were scheduled for deletion
+but kept on disk to retain meta-data stored in the <tt>.svn</tt> subdirectory.
+With the new working copy format introduced in Subversion 1.7 it is no
+longer necessary to keep the removed directory on disk. This also
+facilitates better handling of directory replacements in the working
+copy (see <a href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3468"
+>issue #3468</a> for details).</p>
+
+<p>If the <tt>--keep-local</tt> option is used, <tt>svn remove</tt> will
+keep the removed directory on disk.<p>
