how to delete a project completely from a subversion

[Talha Oktay <to...@gmail.com>]

I know that it is possible to delete a directory or project via giving a url
to a svn delete command. On the other hand, when I import the same project
to the same url I see that it is still revisioned. How can I delete a
url/project completely along with everything related to that, history etc. I
often create small projects and after finishing the job I want to get rid of
everything along with it because I have to keep all the related work in my
company's configuration system.

Sounds like it might make more sense in your case then to keep each  
project in its own repository so that if you ever need to oblitterate  
all records of any project, it's as easy as deleting the repository.

If it's a small project, why not create a private repository?

I've had this discussion with CVS, VCC, Perforce, and other source control 
system admins. The theory is that a source control system deletes nothing, 
ever, nohow, shouldn't be done.

In practice, some idiot always puts in a typo and creates an erroneous 
project in the wrong place, and doesn't want to waste the disk space or log 
confusion if someone else goes to previous revisions and accidentally gets 
the wrong file. This is particularly important for private, internal 
information that should not be accessible to others using the repository, 
especially the sys-admin. (I always did love explaining to people that 
having NFS clients means that a local root user can pretend to be them and 
access every file in their NFS home directory, which is why you don't run 
NFS on a public network. Explaining that to an MIT computer science 
professor was..... amusing.)
