In perforce you can issue a 'sync to none' command to remove files from the client, but leave them untouched in the depot (or repository in svn lingo).

Is there a similar command in svn?

**Edit:**

Thanks to those that have answered so far.

To clarify:

I don't want to use rm -rf on the directory, since it will remove all files, even those that are local only. I also don't want to have to go through by hand deleting individual files which are on the client and in the repository.

The 'p4 sync ...#none' command allows me to remove files from the client, which are in the depot/repository, and leaves local only files alone.

With a small set of files, this is not a big deal, but with numerous files it is painful to do by hand.
