That's actually a really good suggestion (commit a broad delete op to the
SVN repo along with something like my suggested txt file); I'd not
considered that approach.  This way, anyone blindly updating their copy of
the trunk wouldn't even get any actual code but would be left with just the
txt file, making it impossible (hopefully!) for them to not notice that
*something* changed.

I agree tags + branches should remain in SVN as-is since those are probably
supposed to be considered stable/unchanging.

What do others think of this approach?
