Log Message:
-----------
Modify chapter 2's description of svn delete FOO

In fact, svn delete *does* immediately remove directories, as well as files
and symlinks. This is true on svn 1.8 and 1.9. The behaviour described by the
previous version of the book applied to previous versions of svn.

Discussed on #svn on Freenode on 1 December 2017.
