NoDear Andreas,

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward your support on this to recover
files.

Actually I'm new to SVN. When I'm trying to deleted SVN commited file, I
unknowingly cleaned up unversioned files.

But, More than those SVN file, I need my unversioned files.


> Why is this not yet fixed ?

I raised this question for the Dev team.
